Hello, has anyone bedded a bergara bmr 22LR. There seems to be a lot of slop between the barreled action and the stock. Thanks for all input!
Bedding a bergara bmr 22LR

I'm running them at 55" pounds per User's manual. There's just a lot of movement frontwards and backwards. I make sure lug is fully to the rear before tightening the action screws though.
Just my two cents worth. I have two BMRs. The stocks are plastic, albeit a thicker plastic compared to other comparable rifles.
With that said, 55 inch-lbs might be too much and cause the plastic to crack. So, I torqued the action screws to 35 inch-lbs.

Are the steel washers (collars) in place on each screw? I had dropped on accidentally and did not know it and could not get a good lock up in fitment. Replaced them and good-to-go. I put the barrel action in and start both screws, make sure it is seated well to the rear and tighen the rear to spec first and the front screw last - both at 55 inch-lb. No movement.
I bedded my action blocks with JB weld. It made a considerable difference in accuracy and consistency. My gun likes 45 inch pounds. I shoot this gun 6 days a week on average and I could tell right off the bat, after I bedded it, how much better it was and it was really good before...
