[QUOTE="shinbone, post: 1803948, member: 15248"] For wood or epoxy bedded rifles (not so much for actions directly bedded into metal), repeatedly removing and inserting the action from/into the stock will wear on the mating surfaces, and you will eventually ruin your tight fitting bedding job. Consequently, I remove the stock for cleaning only if there is a specific problem that needs to be addressed, such as I was hunting in the rain, the gun was dropped and dirt was pushed in between the stock and the action, etc. It is not a routine part of my cleaning procedure, and seems to me to be unnecessary and potentially detrimental.
