[QUOTE="devildoc, post: 171478, member: 5615"] Well, I bedded the barrel channel because the stock had too much flex, and would contact the barrel when I used the Bipod, so I bedded it in the hopes that it would stiffen the forend a bit, and it appears that it has done so. I did tape the bottom and sides of the recoil lug with one layer of masking tape, didn't mention that, sorry. I did relieve the recoil lug recess and action areas prior to bedding, bedding should be at least .2" thick in all areas of the action and recoil lug, might be thinner in the bottom of the barrel channel, but I'm not particularly worried about that. As for the drilling holes, the stock was pretty rough from the end mill on the dremel so I should get good adhesion, I guess I'll find out after I put some rounds through it. I'll shoot her and see what she does, if she shoots like crap I may try, try again. If she shoots good, I may grind the barrel channel out further and skim bed it to make it look pretty. I'll update you after I take it to the range. Thanks for the advice though. [/QUOTE]
