[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 1874942, member: 29241"] I think there is a difference in bend and flex. Metal has some amont of spring without bending. When a rifle is fired there is a large amount of energy input to the action. If there is any movement of the action in the stock, even when epoxy bedded, the bedding is wallowed a slight amount. When realizing that the 1/4" action screws are actually the only support the barreled action actually has, it is obvious that there is movement and the recoil lug does in fact flex. Have experienced bedding "going bad" from the "wallowing recoil lug flex" in a heavy barreled single shot 22 rimfire. Some have even said that pillar bedding can increase this problem as the action is only supported on the small diameter of the two pillars, because the entire action is prevented from grabbing the entire bedding surface [/QUOTE]
