I've done it both ways depending on the situation and they all shot good.
The ones with tape are easier to take out of the stock. The ones without will scare you as in "Oh S***, this action might be glued in permanently". So far all have come apart eventually.
As a side note, back when the Army highpower team used to shoot M1's they just epoxied the actions into the stocks permanently. Nice to have taxpayers paying for your rifles.



What would you do with a Kimber Montana, tape the lug or not?

Shortactionsmoker or some of the other more experienced Kimber guys can probably give you a better answer than me but on my wife's since it is just a skim bedding I taped the recoil lug sides, front and bottom with electrical tape.


I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.
