[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1702622, member: 97414"] Wholly crap bat-man,,, that ain't any where close to a zero stress bedding job to allow the action to rest easy in all portions along the sides and bottom... A quality bedding job is the filling to be smooth like glass and grip the action like the mold that made the action at the foundery... My gun Smith friend in our parts charges $375 Cnd funds,,, the bad part about him working on them is trying to get the action out of the stock since there in there pretty tight... Ha... I complemented him on a job well done since I can lessen the action screws to zero torque and still shoot a 1/2" moa group all day long... LOL And yes,,, he carries the bedding material right up to the bolt lug area,,, attention to detail is why I foot the bill for top quality work... ABCSO,,, Approved by customer staifaction only... Ha... Thanks for posting the photos,,, I feel at rest knowing that my hard earned funds are working for me... I hope lots of others get a chance to follow along with this,,, it might be OK for some folks out there to end up with craftsmanship work like that,,, but the majority of folks won't buy into this kind of work... What a shame to think that anyone would treat a quality rifle stock like that knowing full well that the owner will be inspecting it apon delivery... Thanks again for sharing what to watch for... PS: Don't fear sharing my post with this so called Gun Smith friend,,, that way he can come onto this thread and get schooled in the art of quality gun smithing... Cheers from the North [/QUOTE]
