RemFan-
1. Brownells sells Accra-glass both in the old formula and gel, I have just
finished bedding an H&S Remington stock with the gel and it came out very
nice. Sinclair Precision (Brownells also) sells an adjustable pillar bedding
kit that from what my pals have told me works well. As far as inletting
some metal into the forearm of the wood, i have tried it with a stock
on my .375 that was constantly moving. It didn't work out too well.
I have heard of people using steel rods, etc. The only reason you
would have to do this is if your forend bends with climate changes.
I suppose you could inlet steelbed into the forend, but it could get
a bit costly.
2. Before you go hog wild, try to do things in logical steps, for instance
you might first want to free float the end of the barrel and see if that makes
any improvement in your shooting. If not, then maybe consider...
3. Glass bedding the reciever and recoil lug with accra-glass gel, devcon,
etc. While at it also bed the trigger guard area. If that doesn't give you
a major improvement, then consider...
4. Pillar bedding. This can be done anytime after the initial bedding as
all it requires is that you drill out the guard screw holes and install the
pillars.
5. You need to determine what level of accuracy you are seeking. Don't
drive yourself crazy trying to shoot 0.5" groups all the time with factory
iron.
Hope this helps, if you have other ?s e-mail me and we can discuss
this. Good luck, Art
