[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 553796, member: 30902"] Seems we do a thread on this weekly here so this time it's my turn. I've always understood that the most critical area to bed is the recoil lug and from the lug to the front screw. Lately though I've picked up a couple of rifles that were supposedly properly bedded which in fact were not bedded in the lug area at all leaving quite a bit of free play once you loosen the mounting screws. Now even if the recoil lug is slid all the way back against the stock to me this seems to leave a great deal of room for it to flex and rebound when fired. I solved this easily with some JB Weld for bedding compound carefully spooned filling about half the lug recess and just a light application in front of the front screw up to the lug recess. Am I thinking wrong here? [/QUOTE]
