    A few years ago Nononsense answered a bunch of questions for me on my quest for long-range hunting accuracy. I now have a special relationship with my Remington Sendero SF II , picinany base, nightforce rings and scope. I put hash marks in the receiver and the base and epoxyed them together. A few times lately Tsr1965 has mentioned bedding the action to Even the H.S. Aluminum bedded stock. I was thinkin I would like to try this... I think. My gun and I are getting 5-7 inch groups at 660 yds shooting prone with legs and a rear sand bag. Thanks for ur time

    any stock can be bedded. Do a search on it and there will be multitudes of info as to the process and it's merits.

    why chase the game when the bullet can get em from here?....
    Got Balistics?

    The only problem is making sure that you get (ALL) the factory release agent off of the stock before you proceed with the actual bedding job.
    Other than that, no problem at all..........

    Gun control is hitting what your aiming at.

    Along with what MR Bruce has said, I like to roughen up the area with 80 grit sand paper. I also make very small cavities or ledges with a dremel tool in area I'm planning to bed. Make sure care is taken not to go too deep and pop out the side of the stock. Make sure you wipe out all debris before doing the bedding job. This was the way I got the bedding to stay in a Mauser 98 Ramline stock. I just bedded my Winchester M70 into the factory synthetic using same method.

    You've asked the question at the right time, sir; the best time to consider the TYPE of bedding procedure is before you accidently glue the action into the stock.[;)]

    The plastic stocks are all a little different combination of the same basic ingredients, and are very good candidates for a different sort of bedding called, "Pillar Bedding".
    I have done a few using horizontally-placed dowels of phenolic sheets rolled into roll pins, and epoxied in place once the action and barrel are sitting in the stock. This gives a firm surface against the front, sides, and barrel to minimize whip and sloughing back and forth.
    Simply disassemble, note areas that you would like to reinforce, drill a few holes, insert the phenolic dipped in JB Weld and trim to flush on the outer skin of the stock.

    There a few other ways to achieve the same end, and I'm sure you'll hear about them.
    Congratulate yourself for trying something new!
