[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1866867, member: 104268"] I've only "skim" bedded a couple cheap rifles, so maybe I'm confused? As I'm sure you're aware, the compound will flow until it's cured pretty solid (hours in my experience with various epoxies not necessarily for bedding rifles). Might be "time-lapse" slow, but it flows. I'd think hanging the rifle would run the risk of the goop heading towards the back end of the rifle. Guess what I'm confused about is... 1) If it's solid enough not to flow, it's already made the rifle imprint, and hanging would offer no "stress free" advantage. 2) If it's not hard enough to stay in place (no peanut butter creep), hanging it would result in thickened epoxy towards the ground. Also, how "stress free" can you go, before you're not getting a good mold of the action in a state that it will be after installed? [/QUOTE]
