[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 1074509, member: 22335"] FWIW, I never wrap mine at all. I want zero stress, not even from zip ties, tubing, you name it. It's not like the action is going to jump out of the stock after all. :D If done right the bedding won't compress when the action screws are later torqued. That is, after all, the point of using quality material. You have every right to do what you wish with your rifle, and I encourage you to do what you want. That, you see, is the beauty of ownership. My point in replying was that general recommendation from gunsmiths with far more experience than either of us is to avoid torquing of the action screws nor introducing any type of stress at all, and I wanted to pass that on to Laelkhunter since he asked the question in the middle of your thread. As you see, at times threads take interesting turns that were unintended. Oh, and I did read the whole thread before commenting. I always do. [/QUOTE]
