[QUOTE="308 nate, post: 64899, member: 1920"] Matt27, Bruce Bears' 2-piece block I am sure is an excellant barrel block and you probably would not go wrong with it. I am by no means trying to push this block on you,I just thought I would explain why my blocks are the way they are. By having the bolts on the bottom I can make the block fit into a narrower stock and I feel that the one piece block will have a more consistant hold than a two piece block. Here is a picture of how my blocks are installed. First the block is installed on the barrel and then the stock is inletted for the block and pillars. I also inlet 1-1/2 - 2" under the action for epoxy recoil area.then,pillars are bolted to the bottom of the block and then the barrreled action is placed in the stock.the pillars are held in with five minute epoxy,once the 5 min epoxy sets the bolts are removed and the barreled action is removed and then a liquide epoxy like Acraglas is poured in around the pillars to within 1/4" of the top of the pillars. 24 hours later the slot in the block and the holes on the side for the cap screws are filled with modeling clay and then a release agent is applied to the block,action and barrel.And then for the final stage, Devcon aluminum putty is layed 1/4" thick under the block and 1/2" deep under the action and then the barelled action and block are layed in the stock and the four mounting bolts are installed and torqued to 30 in.lbs. then it sets for another 24 hrs. Next barrel,action and block are removed and..... clean up time. Once this process is done removing the barreled action from the stock is a 1 minute job... tops. When it is time for a re-barrel the barreled action and block are removed from the stock then the 1/4 - 28 cap screws are loosened and the block is slid off the barrel. 2 minutes ....tops! Then re-barrel is standard procedure. I hope my explanation is comprehendable as I did leave out a lot of little details in the bedding procedure ,just gave you an overview.
