[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1620966, member: 38048"] JE has said it correctly. I've been smithing custom long range and target rifles for 30 yrs. A proper bedding job is totally stress free. The action sits on the pillars and the glass just keeps the action from moving from shot to shot. Plus the full contact of the bedding on the stock helps dampen vibrations more. When done correctly you screws will bottom out and completely tighten up in half a turn or less. Plus action screws can be used in tuning your load. Once you have a load that is good try changing the action screw torque. I normally only adjust the rear screw lighter by 5 each time and see if it shoots better. On all my personal long range target rifles the action is glued into the stock permanently. Shep [/QUOTE]
