[QUOTE="Rflshootr, post: 1672532, member: 10284"] Both, but don't forget that many custom bench rest actions are precision model 700 clones for the most part. Some are different but still basically a single shot bolt action. As a side note, the first 600 yard benchrest rifle I build for myself to compete with was 243 Win built on a Savage 110 long action and a laminated benchrest stock. It supports a #17 heavy varmint, 26" long barrel and has shot quite a few 2.5"-3" groups at 600 yard IBS registered matches. So my point is if a factory Savage long action will support a 6 plus lb. barrel, do you think the chamber area really needs bedding? Food for thought. Also I might add that there is a difference between a proper stress free bedding job and some epoxy slapped an a stock and called a bedding job. [/QUOTE]
