Gunsmithing What type of bedding job?

[Tactical30]

Im putting together a custom rifle: Mcmillan A-5 stock, Krieger MTU bbl, Badger bottom metal M-5, Badger FTE Muzzle brake, Surgeon Rifles RLR Action, Nightforce Scope,Surgeon Scope 20moa base, Badger USMC rings, Harris bipod, Badger Titanium Recoil lug, Surgeon KMW bolt knob,tuned trigger 2.5lbs, custom Cerakote flat dark earth on all metal all under a .300 Win. Mag.

What type of bedding job should I have done on it when i have my gunsmith put it together? What would be the best for that setup? I know there is no "best" but you know what i mean.

I cant wait to get this rifle done!

The easy button is McMillan.

Call them and arrange to ship the barreled action and stock to them, and they will do an exquisite job of pillar bedding; exactly as they did on my Ghost Dancer A3 Tactical/Savage 10FP

IMHO, I don't believe anyone can do better.

Ditto on McMillan. I sent them my Savage 10FP and had them do a piller and skim bedding job on it in an A5. I couldn't be happier. Rifle went from consistent .75 MOA or slightly more to consistent .5 MOA or slightly less. With hand loads I get less than .5 MOA consistently. You can't go wrong with their work.

Aluminum pillars and full bedding. Either practice on a turd
then do this one yourself or send it out.

Re: What type of bedding job?

What are the advantages of pillar bedding vs regular glass bedding? With pillars you can't ruin the bedding by overtorqueing the action screws, is that it?

I have a Savage 10FCP (the McMillan A5 model) and am trying to decide which way to go.

Re: What type of bedding job?

I had a customer's rifle that had a messed up bedding job in a Manners Stock, I mean messed up. I couldn't repair and redo myself because I just had surgery on both my hands. I called Roscoe at Louisiana Precision and he did it, took about two weeks and he charges $200. It's a work of art and I'm glad I sent it to him, quite frankly it's better than I could've done even if I didn't have messed up hands.
