[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1992970, member: 91783"] Bedding came to be a practice before synthetic stocks . When you had wooden stocks , even when they fit the action well , the moisture content of the wood changed with the weather , and location . So you bedded the action and made as good a fit to the action and at least an inch of the barrel . this made sure that the action didn't move around in the stock and sealed that part of the stock . You also would then seal the barrel channel , most wooden stocks weren't sealed well under the barrel to save the manufacture money ,after you made sure it didn't have any rubs with the barrel . Pillar bedding came about for much the same reasons it let you torque your action bolts to the proper torque and they would pretty much not change with the weather or your location . With the advent of synthetic stocks and aluminum bedding plates we found that if you bedded your action to them it gave you a much better and ridged action to stock fit and stopped any movement between the two . Sports men and hunters have benefited from the bench rest shooters and the things that they have learned to do to make their rifles shoot better . As time goes on, and sadly so does a war on terrorism , our knowledge of weapons systems , powders and bullets increases also to better enable our military to do their job . [/QUOTE]
