Nicely done, I have used JB for bedding but as you mention it is pretty runny so I tend to use Devcon 10110 for that stuff. I still use JB for bedding scope beds to actions and it has been great.

I highly recommend doing the staged bedding with JB, it shrinks more than some of the other projects.

Did you test accuacy before and after? I admit Im guilty to pretty much floating and bedding stuff without even shooting it before I start working on it.
