[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 1876414, member: 109994"] I've been looking for some information on fully bedding a barrel to the stock. I've got a .30-06 Tikka superlite that can shoot great groups, but there is the occasional flier or two that I think is from the barrel coming back to rest on the stock's pressure points in a slightly different position than before. I've been reading about the Barrett fieldcraft and Melvin Forbes, and I'm really intrigued with the old school method of fully bedding the barrel to help the consistency of lightweight barrels. I've been wanting to try out fully bedding my Tikka barrel with a Boyd's laminate stock I've got coming, but the problem is that the barrel is fluted. It's got 6 flutes, with one lined up exactly center on bottom, so I don't think the flutes would end up locking it into the stock with bedding, but not sure. Any thoughts? Any recommendations on where to look for pointers on doing full barrel bedding? [/QUOTE]
