[QUOTE="HoytemanPA, post: 23140, member: 286"] Do I glass bed it or fit it to the aluminum bedding block? I have been working with this rifle and I am finding some sweet spots but.... the first shot is a flyer 3-4" away, at 200, usually low, before it will group. I could live with the third shot being a flyer but the first? Nope that won't work. The action screws were torqued, barrel is free floated etc. but it seems that something is still tightening up after the first shot. It seems to be temperature related and not clean vs dirty issue. I wait five to 10 minutes between shots and they will group well but if I wait an hour or better, another flier happens before it settles out again. The stock has a molded in aluminum bedding block, I relieved some high spots on this and have fairly even contact now. I bedded the front and sides of the recoil lug as it could move laterally with slightly loosening the front screw. I am waiting for the bedding to set as we speak. Will this be enough or should I go ahead and grind down the top of the aluminum bed and glass it and the rear of the recoil lug? I left it as I thought it was probably stronger than the bedding compound but I am not certain that the rear of the recoil lug is making uniform contact. If I do this will it adhere to the aluminum well? Or will it crush with 30-378 recoil? Any experience out there with these? Thanks HPA [/QUOTE]
