[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1135878, member: 48559"] I've never done a before/after test. This is just the way I bed them. Before doing my own I trolled the web for tips and keeping the middle clear came up somewhere or other. Having heard of folks having issues with remingtons if the mag box was tight it made sense to me to avoid any chance of pressure anywhere except the screw areas themselves. One of the videos I saw dealt with the Savage heavy target action with solid bottom, small ejection port and three bedding screws. On that one, the fella did bed full length from recoil lug to rear screw and left the tang floating, but said he does the standard sporter actions with their skinny flexy side rails as I have done. If I had a dud shooter, I might try bedding the sides to see if it helped, but so far they shoot just fine. I have three and parts are collecting for number four as I write this. [/QUOTE]
