[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 1883458, member: 109994"] Bedded the bottom metal tonight. I noticed that when tightening the action screws, the opposite end of the bottom metal would start lifting out; there must be low spots on both ends. I didn't want to remove wood to solve the problem, because then the bottom metal would be sitting slightly recessed and I'd have the action sitting too high in the stock. Also, I figured filling the gaps between the metal and wood might make it look nicer. So, I taped off the stock, inside and outside, and plugs a few key areas with modeling clay. Hopefully it turns out well! My bedding compound should be here sometime this week, so hopefully I'll be able to get the action bedded this week and start testing before attempting a barrel bed.
