[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 3014750, member: 104437"] I Made a Living, Glass Bedding "Pencil Barreled", Weatherby's, Mausers and Rem 700's, from, the early 1970's thru, 1992 at, $180 to $200, a Pop. I would make, a Pyramid in the barrel Channel with a triangular bit, Dremel tool ( Room for, lots of Glass ), Drill a Few angled Holes, fill with, Brownell's AcraGlass and use, a Few Pounds of "UP-ward Thrust, Shims" on the underside of, barrel ( yup, a Big, consistent, "Pressure Point" ). Guys Hunted, all over the Globe with NO, POI "Shifting",.. good Group's, in the Day, was about, 1 MOA. Nowaday's, I bed action, Lug, Tang and about, 1.5 Inches of the Bbl's "Shank portion" then, free float. But we HAVE, better Quality Barrels, today ! I have used the Former Method of, bedding, on a Rem 700 and, a Wby .338 Win Mag Custom with, a Douglas Barrel and that "Method", still "Works",.. as getting SUB, 1/2 MOA with, "Tuned" Loads. [/QUOTE]
