[QUOTE="kimba, post: 1028460, member: 85888"] you can use blue indicating dye on the action where it meets the stock then shoot to see where it rubs the stock - can use sharpie marker for same thing. Many good rifles are surprisingly poorly bedded. You can look at the stock with action out and do a rough visual on quality if you are used to looking at a bedded action. Best to just google skim bedding and just do it to be sure - I use the tubes of jb weld with 20-25 min set time and 24 hour cure. Devcon ( sp) is used a lot. Be sure to use release agent on action or clear shoe polish( what I use). Rough up the stock where bedding is done and then use degreaser on stock. modeling clay can be gotten at most hobby stores to prevent bedding agent from getting where you do not want it. Be sure to use a layer of electrical tape on the recoil area on the opposite side of the action to prevent stress and allow you to remove action from stock. Or just get a kit with all the stuff there from a sporting goods store. Most every rifle gets more accurate with a bedding and or pillar job. The issue is that the action needs to stay in the exact same place in the action shot after shot. If it moves around from impact, it can change poi. Bedding and skim bedding eliminate that variable. The other variables not related to the shooter is stock flex, stock hitting barrel, and quality of barrel and chambering and ability of stock to allow a good cheek weld.
