[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2632411, member: 26077"] So, went ahead and bedded the rifle. Turned out really great. One piece of advice, the recoil lugs are NOT square. Width wise, the bottom is .01 wider than the top and thickness is .0006 thicker at the bottom than the top of the recoil lug. It is almost imperceptible to the naked eye but it is more than enough to stick the action in the stock through mechanical lock if you don't account for it when bedding. I verified this on another gun of the same model in 30-06. I bedded the front of the barrel with a pressure pad. We shall see how it shoots like that and if not satisfied it is easy to sand it out of the way and free float the barrel. It is a 9.3x62 with a 19" barrel so the barrel will be pretty stiff to start with. For anyone that does stick a gun, Devcon will soften up a lot at 250 F, just above the boiling point of water, and becomes very pliable at 300 F. A heat gun applied to the metal can get you to that temp very quickly with no harm to the gun at all. Just make sure you shield the wood and try not to direct the heat onto the wood itself. [/QUOTE]
