[QUOTE="BitterrootBob, post: 735347, member: 27313"] I'm going to get this 260 Remington done first, as I said. When the time comes, I'll certainly consider the 7mm STW. After all, the two rifles I borrowed were both 7mm, so I have good vibes with 7mm offerings.:) As far as bedding, I'll likely (99.999% chance) do it myself. As I mentioned in the OP, I have hunted with homemade longbows, broadheads etc. To me there is nothing like a successful hunt with equipment made with your own hands. I've read a bunch and watched some videos on pillar and glass bedding. It doesn't appear all that difficult. I might purchase the video by Richard Franklin entitled "Stress Free Pillar Bedding". Have you seen it? He has a pretty good article on another site about his process. If I can build and tiller a longbow, I believe I can bed a rifle action. I've seen many posts that say to see how the gun shoots before doing anything but I don't believe I'll follow that advise. I plan on bedding the action before a bullet ever goes down the tube. The other option is the Whidden V-Block. Do you have any experience or thoughts on that versus bedding? Also, it seems many shooters like the Devcon for bedding. Would that be your choice as well?
