[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1856915, member: 26227"] The kind of bedding you are referring to is the "bench rester's bedding" I saw it on just about every weighted, heavy barreled, single shot, bolt or lever single shot on the benchrest line. if the trigger every went sideways or the barrel shot out, you literally had to cut the stock off the action. this was no good in my book. the way you have described you have your guns bedded is very good. no better way unless you have an unruly barrel and it needs to be "tamed" with pressure bedding. the only other reason you would bed the entire barrel is if you have a thin fore-end with a Schnabel end cap. this is the rarest of cases. do not get me wrong, for a gorgeous piece of wood and a traditional European hunting rifle the Schnabel stock is one of the prettiest things on earth. up until 4 months ago I owned a 1930's traditional German hunting rifle in 30-06 imported in early 1931. I should have never sold that rifle. [/QUOTE]
