There are two schools of Mauser bedding:
a) bed everywhere
b) touch as little as possible.

I go with plan b. I touch in 4 spots.
One point is the rear pillar.
Two points are the bottom of the recoil lug on either side to take rifling twist torque reaction.
One plane picks up the back of the recoil lug.

The most accurate Mauser I have built to date, was this 6.5-06 when I milled out a long Aluminum bedding and epoxied it in a Boyd's pro varmint laminated stock.

But that is not how I have bedded the majority of Mausers over the last 20 years. They take up the torque reaction with the receiver bottom behind the recoil lug being bedded to the stock. That takes advantage of the flat bottomed receiver.
