Wife's new rifle

[Joefrazell]

Went out and took my better half to the gun store to pick out a new hunting rifle. She chose this one. I was happy to see it came with a trigger tech and they throw some bedding into the lug area. We decided the 6.5 cm would be the best cartridge for such a lightweight rifle. This thing weighs just over 7 lbs scoped up with a leupold 3-9. She's gunna let me go do the barrel break in as christensen recommends as she wants nothing to do with such a tedious to task. Groups to come. Really hoping it's a tack driver.

Congrats on the Purchase and even more so on getting your wife out shooting and hunting with you. It makes life so much better and will give you more time in the field.

It looks like the action lug is a floater (fits in the notch in the bottom of the action)? Curious of how to bed my own T/C that has the same lug? Thanks for the Pics!
Hope she really likes it!!

No, it's a standard lug just like a rem700. Not sure how you would bed those types of actions

Not much breaking in. Looks like she's good to go.

I see now it's a bedding hole, at fist look I thought it was the lug sticking up from the Bedding Glass. I'm tempted to JB weld mine in place, then try to bed it?
T/C's answer to me changing the stock was, "if it shoots good why change the stock?" Not, Here's how we recommend you do it. Aargh!
