[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1218461, member: 4191"] I bedded a Tikka T3 Lite in a Manners composite stock about 3 years ago using Devcon Steel Putty and an aftermarket steel recoil lug. First fired the rifle with an inch or so of bedding under the barrel's shank just forward of the receiver. Wasn't happy with accuracy. Then removed the bedding material under the barrel with a Dremel burr and accuracy improved notably. After that experience, I only leave bedding material in contact with the action, and leave the barrel free of contact with the bedding material. [/QUOTE]
