[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1177380, member: 2736"] To add to the comment I made earlier, Any stock with an imbed needs to be fitted to the action and In the process of preparing the stock for bedding you often find something wrong that needs to be fixed before bedding. The most recent case that I can remember was an HS Precision with the insert/bedding block. While checking the fit for any areas that may need some clearance for bedding, I discovered that the recoil surface for the recoil lug was machined to far forward of the action screw holes buy 1/2 the screw diameter. the recoil surface had to be machined back 1/8" to locate the action screws in the center of the pillars and line up the bolt grove and the ejection port. Fortunately I can do this work, but if others don't have the machines to do it, they would have to sent it back to the manufacture. So bedding any stock has the advantage of not only making the action fit the stock perfectly, it will often expose a problem that would otherwise go unnoticed. A good bedding job requires lots of preparation in order to end up with good results. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
