[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1398528, member: 27307"] Quite honestly, I wouldn't put a whole lot of emphasis on the testing(?) which Stocky's has discussed since they sell bedding block stock and one of the benefits listed is 'no bedding required'. But to the same extent, your requirements for accuracy, consistency and repeatability are what count. You may be satisfied with the results with the bare block or you might feel that you need the confidence of having the action and recoil lug bedded properly and stress-free. I bed all chassis and blocks no matter who makes the stock because as stated, it does not hurt when properly managed. While not directed at you specifically, I do not advocate amateurs practicing on expensive stocks because they've seen a couple of YouTube videos. There is a lot more finesse to bedding than what the 'tubers let on. If you lack the experience but want to start bedding your own stocks, get a couple of take off stocks (not the crappy factory ones) to practice on. Get all the materials in order, on hand then write out the process list of the steps so you don't forget anything, like hardener in the epoxy... Cover anything you don't want to get epoxy on, it can get out of control. Practice makes a better understanding of the process than simply reading an excerpt or watching a video. Best of Luck with your project! [/QUOTE]
