[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 1914052, member: 12282"] ^^^ This is exactly what a Savage accustock does. It basically pulls a V block of aluminum onto the action. Key is to follow the instructions which manage a gradual front to back tightening in torque. This spreads out the V block evenly. I don't think bedding an accustock brings anything and might make things worse. I think this process of torquing an Accustock is inherently variable, a bit at least, and probably contributes more to the accustocks lack of real high end accuracy, than the flexible foreend. I have a couple accustocks, and as much I agree that they are foreend flexible, they very seldom contact the barrel. The best bedding, IMHO, are steel or alu pillars. I have a couple pillar bed guns. The screws go in easy and then "boom", they pull up onto a non-compressable, non-distorable pillar. Having tightened action screws into wood and plastic stocks for years, the difference is MARKED. And then you torque and you are done. But pillar bedding is never a factory (big names at least) option. Its hand done, and done right its the best; [/QUOTE]
