[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1768092, member: 313"] I've had all of my rifles bedded by one of several smiths. Only the real heavy contoured barrels were bedded forward of the recoil lug. I was told that this helps to prevent the weight of the barrel from flexing the front of the action. I have two rifles built on Rem 40X actions. They both have #7 contour barrels IIRC. Neither is bedded forward of the recoil lug. When I inquired about the lack of bedding, I was told that the 40X action is strong enough to support a heavy barrel without the need to add bedding below the chamber area. [/QUOTE]
