Sometimes this is necessary. I usually put a couple wraps around the barrel with electrical tape. This keeps it centered pretty good... I've also put tape on the barrel with plenty of release agent and glassed the barrel channel to keep it centered and allow for the right amount of freefloat:

I'm sorry, I had you confused with DeerTracker. Knock on wood, I haven't stuck any yet either. I remember my first few being nail biters though eek. With me, It was always in the back of my mind or I'd have to ask myself if I remembered to use enough release agent and in all the right spots laugh

An old gun smith friend told me if he had one stock he would put it in a freezer over night and the metal would shrink enough to pop free from the bedding. He always used Acraglass and I don't know if that made any difference. I have used Acraglass for repairs but I have never bedded a rifle action.

Good stuff BSA, we do very similar bedding jobs. Of course your help along the way had something to do with it. laugh Mine are turning out better now days for sure. I do need some action screws though.


JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

Thanks buddy. I told you, you'd get the hang of it..Speaking of action screws, for the longest time I used 1/4" dowel rods (wood of course). I half azzed screwed them into the action and they worked well enough. However, these new stock inletting guide screws work even better laugh .

Great thread thanks for sharing man. I will say the EW I got from you has the slickest action I've ever owned, even turned old GeorgeinSD who is a 700 slut a little green with envy.

Thanks, that's saying a lot right there. I know George is a big time believer in those 700's..

Bringing this to the front so I can find it plus a question?

Thoughts and recommendations on pillar bedding? I'm intending to bed my new to me p64 Alaskan, is it worth the extra work to pillar it and if so any tips? Glass bedded an action years ago so Im working on my courage factor. Have inletted a few flintlock barrels and locks into stock blanks, but all with hand tools. These modern dremel power tools are scary!
Thanks!

Great to see a post where Devcon Steel putty was used. I like the look of it , I would like to try the Titanium epoxy one of these days. I have been using probed 2000 and pleased as punch with that as well but wondering if the Devcon stuff is tougher . I just bedded a Tikka T3 into a B&C T3 stock and I guess Friday I will find out if I did it right when I take it to the range. grin

Razz,

I am in the process of finishing a stock for my Alaskan 338 as well. The original was cracked at the tang so it is going into the scrap pile. I perform all the inletting, fitting, and shaping by hand as well. I am pillar bedding the action and epoxying the entire action into the stock as well. I cut the pillars by hand and then used a certified flat ( gramps was a machinist) and a square to sand them perfect. After you drill the holes in the stock you will think you really messed up, especially the tang area. Don't worry, you will fill in the voids with epoxy and then use a rat tail file to file it down perfect. I epoxy in stages. Here is the second stage complete.

[Linked Image]

PIllars are in, barrel is fully floated to the recoil lug. Next step is to support the chamber with about 2 inches of epoxy.

Then I will epoxy the entire action, magazine well included, so no wood is exposed. I am trying to make it weather proof.

I go a little overboard, but the last pre 64 I did this way seems to like it smile

Oh yeah I use Marine Tex and Carnuba floor wax for release agent.

Good stuff right there, but generally the Winchester model 70's like to be freefloated all the way with no "support" under the chamber. However, if you do it right a good full length bedding job works great as well. The idea is to not stress the action or barrel. Think NEUTRAL or stress free and you'll be in like flinn.... wink
