[QUOTE="Rflshootr, post: 1672492, member: 10284"] All the top bench rest gunsmiths tape the bottom, sides and back of the lug and free float the entire barrel. My way of thinking is, if this gives top accuracy, then why bed under the barrel? After all, isn't accuracy the reason you're spending your time and dollars doing a bedding job in the first place? I've bedded more rifles than I care to remember and only on one occasion did I need to bed a pressure point near the front of the stock. That stock was a Tupperware plastic stock and was so flexible that it was the only way I could get it to shoot. Anyway, just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
