[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 521236, member: 2215"] I don't ever bed under the barrel. It oozes under while I'm bedding the action but I clean it back out afterward so the barrel floats cleanly back to the recoil lug. On a Remington action I'll hang up to 1.250" straight for 30" with no issues. Depending on the action thread tennon length you can hang a fairly long and heavy barrel from it. This action is the Stiller TAC 338. I'd have no problems hanging a barrel that was 1.250" dia and up to around 32" long. If it's too long or heavy your next best option is a barrel block. To me, leaving the bedding under the barrel is a lazy excuse to not clean it out. 99% of barrels will shoot at their best with a completely free floated barrel and stress free bedding. [/QUOTE]
