Installing a Badger Ordnance M700 SA Picatinny base (306-46) on my 700 5R. This is my first base installation and I'm trying to determine whether or not I need to bed it. I've come across enough how-tos that demonstrate a significant amount of play between the action and base, leading to bedding being necessary. I dropped my base in and snugged it up (front screws only) but don't see any space (perhaps a tiny amount on a couple of the corners - see photos), or play regardless of how much pressure I put on the rear - it seems maybe 95%+ as flush as the front. Judging by the pictures below, which I took at the best possible angles to show gaps (if there are any), does it look like I will need to bed the rear of the base?
Thanks for your time.
