[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1857891, member: 2736"] From My opinion on this issue, I will say that there is no perfect way to bed a rifle, just the best way for that rifle and ammo. My preferred method for consistent results is what I recommended. That doesn't mean that it will work on all rifles and ammo combos. I bed according to caliber, use and barrel contour and find that when you bed the entire stock that many things can/change the accuracy at any time. I have been shooting and bedding for over 55 years and there has always been exceptions, and these will just have to be excepted as possible but based of my appearances, many of these methods will rarely produce and a good dependable method will produce 95% of the time. I can think of several dozen different methods that I have tried and have learned the hard way never to do them again, so over time I have narrowed bedding down to some basic rules that produce and If I stay within those rules I find that problems don't exist and the bedding last for many years with no problems. Some of us try to keep some of the members from making the same mistakes that we did by giving advice, but nothing says you have to take this advice. So If you do something that you heard on the internet or a friend of a friend of your brother in laws best buddies dad. be prepared to pay the consequences. Who knows, it may work for that rifle and ammo, and you are good. :) J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
