[QUOTE="wildcat westerner, post: 2544298, member: 21361"] Thanks for all your input. In looking at this well,made stock then present barrel channel is 1 1/2" and there is no room innthe stock for adding a pillar bed much as my previous experience tell me would be a satisfactory answer. Some competition writers on this subject seem to be thinking of competition restrictions on the overall rifle. There are none. The,weapon will,weigh what it will weigh. Kelbly' s suggest bedding thembarreled action "up" and exchanging the Tactical action I have purchased for a Panda. Since the stock is already bedded for the Panda action, Kelblys suggestion makes total sense to me. Since 24 inches of heavy barrel projects from the stock, and 12 inches are encased in the stock, and there is no room for a bedding block, there is a general consensus that bedding the action "up" duemto barrel droop and also the part of the barrel in the forend part of the stock will make for a 20 inch surface that with the square shape of the Panda rear action will act as an additional recoil lug, and provide 24 inches of barrel to vibrate beyond the,stock for more normal harmonics.. Since I had much of what was needed on hand the total cost of the weapon will run around $1,2-400.00. WW [/QUOTE]
