[QUOTE="BradArnett, post: 492647, member: 32738"] There's nothing really complicated about bedding rifles. I can't see paying anyone 150$ to bed a rifle, even installing your own pillars is not that difficult of a project. The initial cost of the stock really shouldn't have any bearing on whether you bed it yourself or not, there are many many tutorials floating all over the net. If you screw something up (which is pretty unlikely, really) its no thing to grind out bedding material and have another go at it. Bedding a rifle is is one area that a guy can do himself on a rilfe build and put that money toward more bullets/powder and shooting time. I do understand that some guys only want to drive them and have no interest in working on them, and there's nothing wrong with that. My shooting pard's first experience at bedding a rifle was with a GAP built barreled action and one of the USMC return M40A1 stocks. He called me on the phone when he was actually ready to do it and I talked him right through it. As you know, those stocks are worth a fair amount of money and he was more than a little nervous.
