[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1640156, member: 93138"] I think there's an even easier way to bed the Mini. Pillar it first, then bed the action. I've relieved all around the recoil lug and at the tang (leaving a tiny bit at the rear of the hole for elevation location), but left all other wood in place. I'll remove under the action after the pillars are in. I do not understand the use of the steel filled Devcon. I use the aluminum filled, and while I've only done a couple bedding jobs ever I feel that the aluminum filled is the better choice. Choosing the steel filled isn't going to achieve an exact match to the receiver in thermal expansion, it technically can rust (though I doubt that it does), and it is slightly heavier. Are you going to fill that forearm to stiffen it? BTW, the Howa Mini action screws are M6 x 1.0 [/QUOTE]
