[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 586716, member: 22335"] Yes - you can apply tape to the front and sides of the Mk V bedding lug but [I]don't[/I] put tape on the bottom (or back, of course). I NEVER bolt the bottom metal back in place (may induce stress) and in fact don't hold the action in place at all. The weight of the barrelled action has always been enough in my experience, and I apply enough pressure that the tape on the barrel is fully engaged as is the rear of the action. The only time this came back to get me was on a Savage, so I just re-did it. I don't want to do anything that might induce a bit of stress, including clamps or tape. I've used the Accurisers on a Mk V as well as Vanguard now under the recoil lug. They don't fit entirely perfectly but they definitely allow you to have metal-to-metal contact. I would not recommend them for a first time project but under the recoil lug of a Wby they work fine if you're meticulous and think your way through the project. I wish Ernie'd make some with one flat side to use specifically with our rifles. :D [/QUOTE]
