[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 323821, member: 7449"] Bedding a rifle can be as simple or as complicated/nighmarish as the person doing it wants to make it. There's an infinite number of things that can go wrong that will likely result in a ruined stock, receiver, or both. This is a topic that is discussed on a regular basis in internet land and I will offer you the best advice that I think a guy could; if your detail orientated, familiar with epoxy resin systems and how they work, and have a good mechanical aptitude, then give it a try and be ready to fail. I would suggest finding a disposable rifle to start experimenting with rather than taking on something you really care about. I've bedded over a thousand guns in my ten years of doing this stuff. I like to think my bedding jobs are pretty good. Maybe even a bit better than most. Understand that there was a tremendously steep learning curve that resulted in a lot of money being spent to get it to that level. Experience is never cheap. Cheers and all the best, Chad [/QUOTE]
