[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 104730, member: 2011"] [ QUOTE ] I bought a new Rem 700 XCR in 338 RUM a few weeks back, I didn't like the factory stock, it quite possibly might be the worst POC I've ever seen. .......So I bought a Knoxx's compstock with the recoil suppressor in the butt.....My problem is that the barrel is hugging the left side of the barrel channel so I need to hog out some material and rebed the rifle. So my question is how do you make sure that you get the barrel centered in the channel and still not put stress on the action? [/ QUOTE ] First get the current barrel channel correct. Center the barrel by sanding the tight side. Don't hawg it out, that's what I do and I always go too far and it always looks to rough. With the barrel centered before you remove material around the action you will be more apt to have things aligned when you bed the action. I like using masking tape as the thickness can be adjusted very accurately due to its thinness. I suppose you are talking skim bedding here vs pillar then skim bedding. Kirby Allen presented a very good discussion on bedding awhile ago. I searched for a while but couldn't find it. It was top cabin instruction. Also, want to get rid of that POC stock? I don't even know what an XCR stock looks like. Its probably one of those hollow sounding things? I can always use candidates for my airbrush practice.
