LA 102 bedding

Hi,

I'm looking into bedding my LA102. The LA102 action and plastic stock has a forward recoil lug embedded in the stock. It also has a floating lug at the back on the tang. There is so much room in the stock for this rear lug that I assume it shouldn't be bedded, but left free on all sides. It looks like it's only meant to pull the action into the stock through the action screw. I should only bed the front of the front lug to the action (slot in action) and relieve all other sides? Plus bed other parts of the action and barrel, following usual practice.



Apologies if this has already been covered. The forum search isn't working for me.

Cheers,
Rob

Yes, it's a floating dovetail lug at the back, so I guess I should leave it free on all sides. It's shooting around 1 moa on factory ammo.

Hi Robert, I would prefer to not have to comment on this rifle and would suggest that you leave it as is. If possible, try some hand loads.

Re: LA 102 bedding
OK. I have some handloads developed. On factory ammo I noticed it shot slightly better on a sand bag than a bipod, so I thought there might be an issue with the stock. I'll try the handloads off a bag.
