Purchased a new B&C stock and need it fitted and bedded. Any recommendations of who to send it to?

Thanks

Thanks, but $750 is way to much to put into this gun. I was hoping to get a skim bed for $150-$200.

You can buy a $20 package of Marine Tex, watch a couple videos, and do that yourself.

No, I want it done correctly.

Totally agree. Charley does fantastic work & his prices are more than fair. Send it to Score High & it'll be done right...the first time.

I'm fairly handy but my first skim bedding job was pretty easy and turned out much better than I expected.

There isn't much mystique to it unless you want one of the mirror finish benchrest quality full bedding jobs.

If you are handy at all, I would go for it.

I've heard good things about Marine Tex but I used Devcon 10110 and am very happy with how it mixed, applied and released (dollar store shoe polish release agent).

$750 for a bedding job . Must be using Devcon Gold haha. That's literally ridiculous.

Nate Dagley from Straight Shot Gunsmithing in ND perhaps(?)

Which rifle and which stock?

I bedded my own with Grey Marine Tex. I had no experience with that, but there are lots of great YouTube videos out there showing how easy it is.

fwiw I have never used LRI, but it's not 750 for "just" a bedding job. I don't even think they will work on an inletted stock, they start from blanks and CNC out your barreled action and bottom metal and then file and sand it to be essentially seamless. They are likely going to sand/file your action also.

it's not applicable to what the OP wants because they will not skim bed anything and I'm pretty sure won't accept work with a stock already inletted.
