[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2812871, member: 10755"] Nobody that works on many rifles said in this thread that a well bedded, aluminium bedding block or fibreglass stock that was bedded are the rifles bending recoil lugs. It is cheap plastic injected stocks, wood stocks soaked with oil and other poor designs that do not have proper bedding abutment. To bend anything there needs to be movement and a hinge…these are adequate on many cheap stocks to allow movement. My REM 700 SPS in 300RUM has already bent the stock, so I bedded the rear of the stock, the sides and left an air gap underneath, when removing the stock now, there is no further bending evident. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
