Steel balls only come into play when there's something on the line that's not other people's money.

So, the pre 64's I have owned before have either been custom barreled or collector grade rifles that one should not tinker with. I am now the proud and excited owner of a nicely refinished (so no longer collector grade) pre 64 Westerner in 264 Win Mag. It even came with two extra barrels, both of them very clean and fresh so this rifle is likely to be my deer and medium game rifle for some time to come.
I want it to shoot its best, and be more stable in bad weather than an unglassed pre 64 would be, but I am not a fan of plastic on a classic rifle like this.
My query is this, when glass bedding such a rifle with its extra recoil lug out in the middle of the forend, is it generally the best practice to glass the whole barrel channel including the forward lug along with the action area? Just the front and rear recoil lugs? Part or all of the action area?
I have glassed many rifles with usually great results, but never a pre 64 Model 70 that still had its original barrel and stock.
THANKS a ton in advance for the ideas and help here! Mark Do you enjoy verbal abuse...............?

I guess some just need attention be it good or bad? Why else would this guy type a word on here?
Maybe it's just me but if I was in the shape he is supposedly in I'd not give two [bleep] how to bed a pre64

whoa there rookie.
Are you taking on a safariman thread with just popcorn and kool-aid?
I'm afraid you may have underestimated the full frontal effect of that link.
jerky and beer would be a better choice.
