[QUOTE="Justice1327, post: 2715800, member: 117337"] I switched to MarineTex a long time ago. I have tried just about everything even JB Weld. I’ve had good results with all of them. All of them showed some sort of improvement in precision and accuracy. Many years ago I started using the brass tubing , mostly because it was easy to cut to length, and the threads on the tubing gives something for the compound to adhere to inside your stock. here is a question, and I’m curious to see what everyone’s inputs are. Is it better to bed your action with the barrel on, or if you have the capability, remove the barrel and bed just the action? I have tried it both ways and I have tried betting the front 1.5 or 2 inches of the barrel, I’ve done testing to where I will not bed the first part of the barrel . shoot it extensively then come back and bed just the 2” of the barrel and see if it makes any difference. My test show when you have a heavy barrel like a M24, MTU, heavy varmint profiles it helps to bed the front 2 inches of the barrel. I personally have not noticed any difference in bedding just the action versus a barreled action. [/QUOTE]
