Hey buddy. Hope all is going well. My best advice is rough it up very well. I've tried drilling small anchor holes as well, but don't know if that really helps. Use Devcon 10110, it is damn strong and adheres to the Tupperware very well. When you are done, it should look something like this:

The best advice I can give is make sure you use plenty of release agent!!! laugh

I'm the guy that John is referring to, I bedded my Model 70 300 WBY yesterday, and have the 300 RUM drying right now. I managed to not glue the rifle to the stock, so that's good.

The Devcon stuff is hard to find so I used JB weld. I'll have to order some Devcon and use it for the rest of the rifles I need to bed.

Thanks for this thread BSA, the instructions were really easy to follow, and it's a lot easier than I thought. Can't believe I was thinking about paying over $100 to have a gunsmith to do it.

Sounds very good duckslayer. Hope you have a more consistently accurate rifle now. I know the one John bought from me is one of my best shooters and it's in a factory Tupperware stock. I've glass bedded them with JB weld as well and it holds up pretty well, just not as strong as Devcon steel 10110. I generally buy the Devcon through Midway or sometimes you can find it for a good deal on ebay. Glad I could help some of you guys with this bedding stuff.

The waiting is driving me nuts. I Applied up in Wyoming for archery with my boys and knew by the end of Feb, no luck but accumulating points. Sheep, antelope, deer and elk here at home. If, and i mean a huge IF, I draw elk and sheep I may need to ask for a leave of absence from work.

I used the paste wax on the stock tip instead of tape when I did my fwt. I did put a couple pieces over the checkering before I used the wax. It only took a sec and it didn't have the brush any stray wax out when done.

Good tip Ben. That works great too, and it's quick and simple.. Saves time incase you get paste wax in the checkering. This is more critical on the wood stocks, since it's easier to get the wax out of the synthetic stock checkering. I usually spray some rem-oil on it and it loosens up pretty easily with the toothbrush and a little compressed air..

You did a fine job on that rifle. Very impressive.

I've bedded in the neighborhood of 500 rifles, including many Model 70's. I usually bed with Marine Tex, using Acra Release spray from Brownells. It has worked outstanding for me and is much easier to apply than other products. Cleanup is a breeze too.

Another trick I learned early on for popping the action loose is to just grip the rifle by the forend and grip, just like you were carrying it in the field. Gripping the forend firmly, rap the muzzle downward on a towel covered workbench and it'll pop right loose.

Again, job well done.

A thousand curses on photobucket. I saved this years ago to reference when I was ready to brave bedding one of my own rifles. Now that I'm ready all the photos are gone...

Yep. Just because it is on the 'net doesn't mean it will always be on the 'net. I'm getting more "paperless" than I used to be. But if I want to save it, I get it in MSWord or in some other form on my computer, along with the pictures. If I really care about it, I might print it out as well. But then I'm old enough to remember how much more difficult information was to obtain before the 'net. Sure do appreciate Al Gore inventing it! crazy hell, I started college with a slide rule.

I have the thread saved on my hard drive in html form. I could probably convert it to pdf and email it to you if you'd like. Send me a PM.
