[QUOTE="Brent, post: 5179, member: 99"] Jay, My dad just got a Choate Varminter stock for his 6.5wsm, aluminum V-Block type too. He already bedded it so I won't get any before and after results on this one. He did get very obvious .050" to .070" contact lines on the block front and rear before ever firing it too. I doubt you'd ever crush aluminum from the torquing the gaurd screws and not see a mark on it, it's too soft, even though it only compresses and or spreads apart minutely... it will. The flexing factory recoil lug will will no doubt add to the marking too. Put a spot of epoxy on each contact area, torque down and let bond up good. Go fire it and I'd bet it would break loose on the first fireing. My dad fully bedded each block, still contacting each side but full on the bottoms. His impacts did not shift at all when getting hot while we were shooting groups at 200 yards yesterday, it was very, very stable and accurate. [/QUOTE]
