[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2706072, member: 115658"] 2nd attempt is just fine - no need to improve - but - should you do another bedding job I would recommend placing a layer of electrician's tape over the front surface of the recoil lug, this will provide about .007+ inch clearance when removed, where no contact is needed, and facilitate removal of gun from stock. This is just a matter of personal opinion. JB Steel is good stuff! Here are pics of my last efforts on wifey's .22-.250 that she uses to zap 3 inch steel at 300 yards at our local range. Maple stock, cherry fore end tip. The barrel is a McGowen. I had them recontour barrel from a #5 to #4 & extend the leade. The thinner barrel made for a .125 plus gap between stock & barrel. 1 & 1/2 packs of J-B Steel Weld filled the gap. 3 layers of electrician's tape or .021+ made for a nice gap between barrel & stock. The JB also made the stock more rigid. Kiwi shoe polish release agent. JB was used to glue the cherry fore end to the maple. A 3/8 hole was drilled in the center of each piece, maple stock & cherry fore end, then a short piece of 1/4 dowel in hole, then a layer of JB between each piece with the 3/8 hole with 1/4 dowel filled with JB. Everything was then clamped with surgical tubing and allowed to set 10 hours. After that some wood rasp, scraping & sanding. Wifey got this Martha Stewart cast iron pot - real pricey - it fell - chipped handle with exposed cast iron and chipped ceramic coating with gap. Nice pleasant pink color - sort of dusky. JB weld was used to fill the gap & make for a nice smooth gripping surface. Pot has been used to make cow meat stews at 350-400 degrees F for about 2 years & JB still looks good.
