[QUOTE="eshorebwhntr, post: 1116744, member: 17112"] Everyone has their own thoughts on what bedding is necessary. Some guns even shoot well without it. Ultimately you want the bedding to make your rifle as consistent as possible. Having said that depending on how much you paid I would have personally wanted a little more than it seems you got. My taxidermist brought over a 6mm that he loved that would hit center on the first shot every time cold then walk from there and never group. I told him exactly what I was going to do and he was hesitant. Eventually he got a warm/fuzzy by talking over the problem with other guys that he respected the opinion of and they agreed that it was probably bedding and barrel contact. So I bedded it for him. It made his factor rifle shoot about .75 moa or better. Consistently. If your rifle is consistent, I would leave it alone. The bedding is doing it's job, ugly or not. If you do decide to go with getting it redone be sure to let the next guy know what he's getting into. Most people hate fixing other people screw ups. I've added a few pictures for reference. Feel free to use them as reference the next time you discuss bedding work with a gunsmith and how you feel it should turn out (even if you think it should be better than mine...I've got big shoulders) [IMG]http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc476/eshorebwhntr/Mobile%20Uploads/0327151927a.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc476/eshorebwhntr/Mobile%20Uploads/0327151927.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc476/eshorebwhntr/Mobile%20Uploads/0327151926.jpg[/IMG] I don't do it for a living. Just my own work mostly but it turned out ok I thought. [/QUOTE]
