[QUOTE="bluedog69, post: 2942210, member: 118823"] So I am about to bed a Savage Desert Tactical. It has an aluminum bedding block. My theory is to bed from the recoil lug to the back screw. Have the rear tang and barrel completely free floated. I also think I should torque it down to maybe 10 in lbs or maybe even 20 in lbs to get it to contact the aluminum bar while the glue is drying? If it isn't torqued down I may end up with full glass between the barrel and the aluminum block?(would be like glassing over pillars? Is my thinkling correct? Or will torqueing it possibly induce torque into the bedding job? Any help, tips, or thoughts? [/QUOTE]
