[QUOTE="Brent, post: 33028, member: 99"] 4k, Both action and barrel are floated. Standard fair for this type of setup really. Recommendation as for size and length - Not sure about that, just did my research on who did what, how it worked, their thoughts on why and so on. In my case, a 7-8" block probably was all I needed. I thought 10" wouldn't hurt, it broke the lines up better on the rifle and looked better I thought. As mentioned previously, the whole action is floated, including the tang, trigger, glued in single shot follower, barrel, bolt handle, trigger guard and everything. I'm not sure how I'd approach doing a BDL, but I'd probably keep everything free floated still, then use a drop magazine so cartridges contacting the bolt were all that touched. This fitting would be time consuming, but possible. One note though, the block offers way more bedding surface than the action does, so there is no need what so ever to use the tang for additional support, this would be bad Ju-Ju anyway. Mine is a blind mag, with a single shot follower bedded in just below the rails. The steel trigger guard was bolted to the stock, not the action. Anything with a 30-32" barrel that is overly large at the muzzle, straight tube etc, is what I found as begining to be a good canidate for a barrel block because of the addition weight alone. A few guys were using 30" 1.25" straight tubes on custom actions with larger bedding surfaces and doing fine, but most recommended mine with the 1.35" diameter 30" tube on the Remington would probably be better suited with the block.
