[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1807971, member: 2736"] I know that the way I bed is not the only way and others have their favorite way based on their needs and uses. The main reason i use the Metal to metal method is longevity. Until I started bedding this way I would find that My rifles would loose the action screw torque over time and when the POI shifted I would have to re torque the screws. Interesting point about the harmonic transfer and I can see how that could/would be a problem. I prefer stocks made of laminates, and they have good harmonic damping characteristics so this may be a good reason that this problem appears not to be a problem for me. I also tried gluing the action in and it worked best If a barrel block/sleeve was used taking the weight load off the action from heavy long barrels or when a short barrel was floated and was not heavy enough to stress the action. No matter how you bed or make the pillars, the goal is consistency and longevity and a stress free job. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
