    Bedding a Savage Axis XP

    Hey, all. First time poster here. Read through the rules and a few other bedding posts and feel pretty confidently about technique and materials, but am just looking for a bit of confirmation and advice. I'm bedding into a Boyd At-One, and the rifle has been performing pretty well out to 1000...

    Tikka t3 bedded crooked

    I picked up a used T3 in 300wsm. It is the hunter version with the wood stock. I disassembled it to give it a good full cleaning and noticed it was bedded. But when I reassembled everything I noticed that the entire action was slightly turned to the left. You can see that the previous owner...

    First bedding job: Do I have to start over again?

    Hello, Just did my first bedding job on a Tikka T3 in a GRS Sporter stock. It came out pretty ok all in all. Heres a pic before cleanup: Here's the problem I'm having: The stock came with the recoil lug glued in. I somehow thought the lug would come out clean after bedding, with no bedding...

    Gunsmithing Bedding question

    How's it going guys. I plan on bedding my r700 and mcmillan stock but have one question regarding a stress free bedding job. when I torque the action down, the barrel favors to the right of the barrel channel but remains free floated. It's only a matter of OCD on my part but I want to center it...

    Gunsmithing Bedding Job

    Ok, I have 3 bedding jobs to do. I have watched Donovan bed one, but have never done one myself. Two are Rem 700's, one in a McMillan A3, which I will do last to make sure I have the process down. The other 700 in a B&C Alaskan stock ADL version. The one I am most concerned about is the Howa...

    Gunsmithing First Stock Bedding Job...crap

    Did my first bedding job on a Savage 111 300 Win Mag with a Tupperware stock. If I can say so myself, it officially looks like shit. I was unable to find an aftermarket stock with that was for both a sporter weight barrel and a detachable magazine. I cut two pieces of 3/8 steel rod and put into...

    Gunsmithing Thoughts On Widden Alum Bedding Block ?

    Anyone worked with this aluminum bedding block for Rem 700. Seems like a solution to trying out some stocks without traditional bedding. I know there is a guy (Don Stith) who offers one for his stocks for the Quad. This one, Widden only offers one for the 700, with many accuracy claims. Regards

    Gunsmithing not happy with my bedding job

    Tonight, I was bedding my Remington SPS tac into a McMillan stock that had pillars installed. Had everything prepped nice, applied the devcon, and inserted the action. I taped the action tightly into the stock in two places, near the tang and recoil lug. 4 hours later I removed the action to...

    Gunsmithing Best Devcon for Bedding?

    Was looking at the Devcon metal-putty selection and was wondering if "Titanium-Putty" would give me any problems? One of its suggested uses if to repair parts intended to be precision machined. Sounds like a good quality, suggesting its uber stable...Plus, its fuckin' TITANIUM! Assuming this...

    Gunsmithing Bedding a full aluminium bedded stock

    Hey guys. I bought one of the new Choate Tactical stocks which has the Vgrooved aluminum bedding block in it. Is it necessary to bed the rest of the rifle and if so which part of the stock and what kind of bedding would you recommend?

    Gunsmithing Bedding job cost, ballpark figure?

    Can any of you guys give me an idea of what a bedding job might cost if done by a gunsmith? It looks like I may be out of options and have no choice but to bed these rifles myself. Not really looking forward to that. If my stocks have a full aluminum bedding block (B&C A2 Medalist) do they...

    Gunsmithing Bedding suggestion.

    I'd consider myself fairly handy and very detail oriented. However I'm certainly not a "gunsmith". Sure I've built more AKs (from flats) and assembled more ARs and FALs than I'd ever admitt to, but in my mind that's far from the work that a "precision" gunsmith does. With that said, is pillar...
