In 1977 I built a full-length v-block system for my 40X. This block was thick enough that it replaced most of the wood in the factory 40xb-BR stock. It worked well enough and worked the same with or without some epoxy over it. The thing was, it fit the action VERY well. I hasten to add, the rifle really started performing at top levels after I glued it into a Brown Precision stock so the block was kind of time wasted.
Twenty years later, I built another block for a Model 70 prone rifle. This block was installed in a McMillan stock and was done as a prototype for a couple I was making for customers. This block is skim bedded over it so the aluminum is really just a filler. If the block is a real good fit to the receiver, I think it will work as well as most bedding but it is unlikely to produce BR level accuracy. GD
