[QUOTE="98s1lightning, post: 3043237, member: 129199"] I got the gun mocked up and the action height is correct. As far as I can tell the next move is to bed it with some Marinetex Gray then I will be able to distinguish the bedding compound from the black plastic. I never bed a rifle before so am hesitant and kind of sketched out to get the compound in my action screw holes. Not quite sure how to get the action dropped on in perfect alignment, probaby need to make up some long screw that are compatible to pilot the barreled action into place with no wiggling around upon bedding. One of my friends suggested aluminum pillar bedding but I see no room for those o this crammed action/stock combo they will break out into other areas. I don't have that kind of time/patience at this point. I also think this forearm needs stiffening, I shimmer the barrel lug up and took the elastic off in the picture and I can twist the forearm back and forth. Maybe bed some aluminum rods in?? The factory only put bedding compound on the recoil lug. The way I envisioned this rifle getting bedded was 3) places. 1) Recoil lug 2) action belly before mag box 3) action belly ahead of mag box [/QUOTE]
