[QUOTE="sdakotaguy, post: 2923636, member: 81549"] Went with the Epoxy bedding & in the end I expect she will work well. Was a bit more of a hassle than I was expecting due to the flow of the epoxy & the large gaps to be filled. large gaps are due to the radius on the bottom of the Seekins rail & the stock being considerably less than flat. Had to come back & re fill the considerable voids a 2nd time. Debating on using epoxy on the next one, or epoxy putty due to the large gaps to be filled. If I go epoxy I suppose a silly putty dam, may be made around the rail to keep the epoxy from running. down side of the putty is the lower strength. Yet I do not see the strength being a issue in this case. After all we are only needing to fill a gap. Granted the rail will see considerable torque. Still the epoxy putty would be under a compressive load with the two cap screws holding the rail in place. Putty would be far better than no fill at all. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
