[QUOTE="Hntbambi, post: 418589, member: 12797"] I have always done it by checking for barrel movement as the front action screw is tightened or loosened. Once the front and rear action screws are properly torqued, place dial indicator on the barrel and read the movement of the barrel relative to the stock as the action screw is loosened. If there is stress, it will usually show up in barrel movement. As far as bedding under the chamber, its up to the gun. I have seen some that benefited by it,m and others that liked to be totally free floated. On a custom action I would expect it to be stiff enough that the bedding under the chamber is not needed unless the barrel is full bull and 30" long. [/QUOTE]
