Any movement of the barrel/stock from temperature, moisture will be smoother without ( I guess I'll call it micro rattle) on the contact area.

I know this is getting picky but it does not hurt.

Just my $.02 !

Never had to do that with any of my rugers, but most of them have magnum wt barrels. There's tricks to these things and I don't fully disclose all of them, just never had a need to do what your are suggesting....

It's a small thing. Like I said it doesn't hurt to do it.

It is mainly for very light barrel profiles shooting groups on bags. Not a reel big thing. Some of the finishes we smear on the stocks stay a little sticky. I know I am splitting hairs here. Particularly on Rugers, it might not be worth the trouble.

I haven't been at the campfire for a very long time. Long story that is over now. I have a question for you. I just acquired an M77 M II (2006/07 manufacture) in .257Roderts. Must have been a "safe queen" 'cause it's pristine.
Problem is I also picked up a Bushnell Yardage Pro Riflescope to use on this rifle. The integral mounting system of the scope is not comparable with the mounting pads on the M77 M II. Do you know of an existing adapter that will allow these to be mated? I'll post this on the "ask a gun writer section also.
Thanks for Your help,
Pete

my shooting buddy & me do our own bedding, after you do couple dz, you learn all kinds of tricks, opening up the barrel channel, using different methods to keep the epoxy off the wrong parts, the right time to start the clean up process, matching the color to the stock if its wood (in case you need to) we do a lot of bench shooting and its the first thing we do when we get a new addition.

I've got a M77 that I acquired several months ago. A Savage
250, and it was advertised as glass bedded.
My first shots were all over the place, then I put it away. This is a nice small rifle with Mannlicher stock.
It has been in my safe until a few days ago.

I suppose I will have to take it apart, and just thinking
of sanding the stock, loosening things up, and giving it another go.
Anybody with any tips with the full length stock.

First thought is full length bed it and shoot short sessions to keep barrel cool.



Something clever here.

My update is I did smooth the glass bedding to float the
barrel. There were some rough spots, in a not so well done
bedding job. I used a dowel and sandpaper. Now I've got it shooting well within its capability.

For those with a full Mannlicher stock, any tricks, they may
be harder to get accurate.

Gave son-in-Law #2 a Ruger Hawkeye .30-06 as a wedding present last year. We were never able to get it to shoot well with factory ammo, although it liked the 150g handloads I had developed for my other .30-06s.

A couple of weeks ago I took the plunge and bought an AcraGlas kit from Brownells. Today we took the rifle apart and bedded it using northern_dave's pictures in and narrative in this thread, along with the instructions in the kit.

No pictures but a big "Thank you" to northern_dave. Tomorrow we will get it to the range and see how it does with factory ammo and my handloads.

ALso ordered one of Ruger's new synthetic stocks for my Ruger Gunsite Scout to replace the laminate it came with. Should drop the weight 3/4 pound per Ruger and it has an aluminum bedding block and rear pillar. Might have to put the scope back on to see if the new stock tightens the groups any.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

I hope that worked out for you.

I haven't checked in here in the rifles section for a long time.

I can't believe this is still a sticky.

lol.

They may not reappear. Photobucket screwed around and the original poster has greatly curtailed his activity on this forum.

The change in Photobucket policies has really screwed up some of the older posts all around this site.


Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

everywhere actually.

all internet forums are hosed due to photobucket.

Here, try this if you want to see the pictures. They will be out of order I'm afraid. The slideshow will likely run backwards.



slide show?

I don't know if that will work or help. Sorry guys, I'm trying. I don't have free computer time like I used to otherwise I would transfer to a different image host and sit down and fix this mess.

And by fix, I mean I'd repost because this thread is so damn old I can't go back and edit.

Hooray!! All the pics are back! I followed the instructions in Rick Bin's announcement about the Photobucket fix for Firefox and Chrome. Worked like a charm.
