And, I've never seen a perfect one yet.Īll of the B&C stocks that I have come with a full length bedding block. Like DF said earlier, high torque on an aluminum block will create a lot of stress if the bedding block is not perfect. I dont' tape a damn thing (like some do on the recoil lug) and on a rem 700 I would also glass bed the full length of the receiver, so it lays in the stock in a stress free manner. On a synthetic stock I like everything tight. You can actually turn the rifle upside down, while holding just the stock and the barreled action will stay in there without the action screws holding it. It's put the action in the stock slightly rap the bottom of the stock with the palm of your hand and it's in nice and snug. There's no "pulling" the action into the stock with the screws. That's the best way to get consistently good accuracy. I have to comment on armendandfree's post about how he snugs up his action though. I will say that some of us do this bedding thing slightly different here. These would include Devcon 10110 and Brownells steel bed (as armedandfree suggested) is also very robust. The use of a good bedding compound goes without saying. 35-40 is plenty in a properly bedded rifle. I also agree with DF in his explanation of action screw torque. Your groups should NOT shift, no matter how many times you remove it from the stock: Proper bedding is key to this though. ![]() It does help, if you like consistent reliable accuracy with no POI shift after R&R of stock. I've had to do a couple factory winchester model 70 extreme weathers that were not up to snuff and also a FN PBR that had an aluminum bedding block. On the ones I've done, it makes a considerable difference in accuracy. Rough up and slightly remove material, just as you would any stock and skim bed it. ![]() But with the mention of the bedding block, I would say the rifle doesn't need pillars (as you said), but just a skim coat. Generally he glass beds his rifles in the same manner I do (based on his posts I've read). When I first read this thread (last night), dirtfarmer answered the question very well, but in the back of my mind I was wondering if it had the aluminum bedding block like many do these days. I would pillar bed those but the bedding block models only need a skim coat. ![]() Some had no bedding block, I believe the early TI's were like that.
