[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1808884, member: 93138"] I am treating the areas immediately around the action screw holes as "pillars" and bedding the rest as would be normal for a wood or composite stock. Including using a carbide burr to rough up the, in this case, aluminum, and remove most of the cerakote to promote better adhesion. Already bedded the EGW 20 MOA rail as it did not fit the action correctly. I specified the barrel contour that I wanted with a CAD drawing and Satern built it to the drawing. Right or wrong it has a short Ø1.150" cylinder over the chamber tapering to a Ø0.750" muzzle over a 24" length. The barrel channel in the chassis looks like it was designed to clear a Ø1.25" cylindrical barrel, so there is some considerable gap. Particularly at the forearm tip. I'm OK with that, I just wish that the forearm itself was a bit stiffer. I can slightly warp it while twisting it with a gorilla grip. [/QUOTE]
