[QUOTE="wildcat westerner, post: 2542803, member: 21361"] Thanks everyone, Alex Sitman will be calling me on this matter this week. Last night in texts, and in conversations with Kelblys, I believe we can do an exchange of the incoming Tactical action for a standard Panda type that will fit the existing excellent bedding done already. I do believe the conclusion suggested agrees with what we reached last night: fully glueing in the action and barrel full length in the stock, and as suggested let the forward 24 inches of barrel vibrate normally. That is a significant length lever arm for normal vibration forces to act on , in firing the weapon. Kelbly further suggested bedding the heavy barrel slightly "up" since like a cannon barrel there is some droop to the steel. Kelbly Panda actions all have a large squared off butt and in essence this shape forms a recoil lug of its own. Thus , in essence, the entire bedding process done this way makes the entire surface of approximately 20 inches a bedding block. [/QUOTE]
