Is it best to bed the front or back of the base first? Rail is a seekins 20 moa.

I applied bedding material to both the front and rear and then tightened the front but just used the rear screws as guides for the rear of the base, but did not tighten them. That would have defeated the reason for bedding the base.

Hope this helps.

like anything else, there are many ways to do it. i bed front and back at the same time. some prep work can let you know what you need. tighten the front of the base only and see if that raises the back of the action, repeat for the back screws. then you know if you need to only tighten one end or the other.
