[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1464137, member: 103303"] I'm sure acraglas would work, I see guys around here prefer devcon because it's thicker and easier to work with. I've not used either, i learned old school with two part epoxy. I would pony up for a premium product on anything bigger than a 30-06 however. Dynapatch was once a great filler, loved it in the metal cans. Now that it comes in plastic cans it seems to dry out a bit before point of use and I no longer recommend/trust it. Bondo is hard to beat in terms of finishability and durability. Wildcat stocks are not designed for a screw on pad. For scope mounting, the talleys are probably lightest. I have a couple sets for the tikka. Talley doesn't recommend lapping, and there is some 'lash' or 'ball slap' in the bases before they're torqued down. As a result indexing is paramount in ensuring a good install. I've had some issues with rings coming loose (never talleys), so I prefer the ring/rail combo. This way it's possible to re-torque the rail without taking the scope out of the rings. This is also convenient because it means I only have to 'level' the scope once. It makes it easy to swap a different scope in if problem solving is required. You decide if it's worth the extra 4+ oz a rail adds. If so, Seekins is my first choice, and though it's nice to confirm indexing, I've found no alignment/adjustment required. Hopefully someone else can answer your other q's, because I just don't know.
