[QUOTE="Rhett Crider, post: 1625658, member: 105034"] Not bedded. With the stock attached, you should be able to slide a dollar bill under the barrel from front to the back where the recoil lug is, to check barrel float. Proper torque on the stock is important also. Gunwerks has a 4 part video of making a LR rifle from a factory Remington Sendero you should watch. Midway-USA also has some videos for "do it yourselfers". As far as scope mounting, I would check w/ a local smith to see what they could check. There is a level that is just so-so that magnetically attaches inside your receiver to check it without removing the scope but not the best way. Now you've got to hope your rifle was built on Wednesday, not Monday or Friday. Always been the problem w/ mass production. Not trying to discourage you, but...……. long range accurate rifles come with a price. Even your shooting rests and methods. You are just getting started. Rhett [/QUOTE]
