[QUOTE="DryShave, post: 1023812, member: 82136"] As the title says, this is my first attempt at a glass bedding job, the bedding compound is presently curing and I really hope I am not creating a one piece rifle. The project is to create a very affordable rifle with which I can learn the ins and outs of long range shooting. This is not my idea of an "ultimate" long range rig, but an affordable first effort. The action is a Savage Axis in 30-06. The stock is a Boyds featherweight thumbhole. I got some grade 5 bolts from the fastener store and cut their heads off. These align the action to the stock. I drilled holes around the two bedding areas to allow the bedding compound (JB Weld) to grip the stock. I then coated the action and bolts in release agent (Sno-Seal), applied JB to the stock and lightly clamped in place.
