Half rifle bedding vs full length rifle bedding
@ 05:43 am (GMT) |
chris huntOn a Remington m700 sps stock is it better to full length bed the action and stabilize the stock or can you just get away with bedding the front and tang of the action and stabilize?. rifle has standard barrel contour. Thanks Nathan |

Nathan FosterRe: Half rifle bedding vs full length rifle beddingHi Chris, there was a time when I used to do all of my bedding jobs in the front/rear style fashion. Nowadays I find that some rifles are still best done this way while on other jobs it is both easier as well as optimal to perform a full length bedding job.I find it is actually easier to FL bed the SPS than half bed it. On the Hogue stocked M700 rifles, I still prefer a front / rear bed. Try to keep your clamping nice and light to prevent any stock flexing. If you want to use pillars, go for it, but either way, light clamping is the key. The FL bed and light clamping will ensure the stock is not stressed during bedding. Stabilize first while also filling skeletal voids in the action area of the stock, finish with an FL bed. Use a hot knife/wire during all prep. After removing stock material in the action area- finish with a hot knife/wire.There should be sample photos of an SPS at the bottom of the bedding tutorial. That rifle is still shooting .3" two years on (7mm rem Mag). |
