[QUOTE="rbkeiser, post: 433569, member: 9439"] I feel that all stocks, regardless of type and whether or not they have aluminum bedding blocks, really need to be bedded. I have two Winchester M70 Coyotes which came in Laminated wood stocks. (Yes, they're heavy.) Glass bedded each several years ago and both showed substantial improvements in accuracy as a result. Recently, I picked up an HS Precision stock (M70 Heavy Varmint version from CDNN) and found that neither action contacts the block anywhere! (Bottoming out at the barrel tenon and the rear tang behind the block.) As I've seen the same with other stocks and other actions, I wasn't surprised nor discouraged as I'll use bedding compound on it anyway. Just for fun, I shot both barreled actions mounted in this stock as is and what are normally good-shooters, were all over the target. A bit of a tangent from the OP but I guess I'm saying that bedding is usually a requirement for good, repeatable accuracy with any stock type and an absolute necessity with a natural wood stock. These also should have pillars and as much wood (inside the action and barrel channels) replaced with 'glas as possible to be dependable with weather changes. Blake [/QUOTE]
