[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1074414, member: 69478"] Devcon steel bedding won't shrink and you can't crush it by torquing the action and stock together. I do this so I can guarantee the bedding will be perfectly contoured to the barreled action and fits like a glove when I am done. I apply a generous amount of bedding into the stock and a little bit squeezes up between the stock and action. I wipe away the excess when it just starts to set up and becomes stiff and it breaks away easy. The action has no choice but to sit on the bedding. If the tang is bedded and the front action ring is bedded, where is the action going to sit? The bedding can't lose contact with the action, it isn't supported by anything else besides the stock where the bedding is. Other bedding compounds that are not as strong as Devcon may shrink over time, but they still won't lose contact with action. If you just finger tighten the screws, then the bedding will not be perfectly fit to the contour of the barrel and action. The procedures I used, have been repeated over 25+ years to bed Remingtons and the results are excellent everytime. My Dad has bedded at least 20 Model 700s using the same steps that I demonstrated and they all were shooters. So I believe we have quite the track record and success to prove this method works, and is superb. Thanks Mud! I was happy with the job and I am looking forward to testing the rifle out. If you order one, I say get a 7mmRM. It's a do all cartridge and is perfectly suited for this rifle. Like you said, you have a lot of components for the 7 and you like them, so it's a win win. Then you can buy a 26" Sendero contour barrel, have it threaded and chambered in .25-06 AI and have a spare barrel for youR 700 LR! :D lightbulb [/QUOTE]
