Yes, that makes perfect sense. As long as the lug is touching the front surface of the receiver lug slot, the bedding job in the stock slot would hold it in place. That makes me wonder why I couldn't permantly epoxy the lug into the stock slot. You think that is viable?

That is absolutely viable IF the slot isn't already battered and IF the angle at the front is still a sharp 90 degrees. If it's battered already it may be that your action screws will be touching the back of their holes and that is not conducive to good accuracy.

I do not own and have never seen a Tikka out of it's stock. Might someone post a photo or two of the issue? I wish I could but I sent my T3 down the road long ago. Maybe DC or IAE will post a pic.

That's what I did. I'll post a pic if I can find it. Paul Here it is. Bedded in Devcon titanium. Probably won't do that again. As to accuracy? Can't say anything definitive. It didn't seem to hurt any. 7mm-08.

Paul, do you have any pics of the luggette or the slot it engages in the action?
I think they would be informative.

No, and I'm temporarily away from home so I can't look at it or take a pic.
I'm not sure what it meant by a slot. My recollection, which could be wrong, it that the round lug is integral with the receiver. This an M595, not the newer T-3.

Yes, everything is still sharp and not battered.

Paul Well there you go. It is not at all like the T3 then which has no lug integral to the action, merely a small slot which engages a recoil luggette embedded in the stock. Thank you for your response Paul.

IAE pilot: I would glue the lug to the action, then bed. I would not use tape below or in front of the lug either. After pulling it all apart, the lug will fit snugly into its newly bedded slot in the stock regardless. It does not need to be permanent.

Yes, everything is still sharp and not battered. That is very good. Now you'll have to determine if the slot in the action is milled oversize towards the front of the action or the rear. If it's to the rear you'll be good to go with the method proposed by DC as all the bedding compound between the luggette and the action will be behind the luggette with the luggette bearing only on the steel at the front of the slot. If however the slot is milled oversize to the front you'll either have to bed the luggette a bit further forward in the stock recess so that it engages the front of the action slot and you have no contact between your action screws and the stock, or have a thicker lug machined to fit your oversized slot precisely. Hope this helps a little. Be happy to clarify any questions you may have.

Ok, thanks... This makes perfect sense. It is exactly what I will do.
