Chris, make sure and do your homework before you send either rifle off for bedding work.
Model 70's are unique in several areas when it comes to producing a bedding job that helps accuracy. Most of this work is subtle, hard to explain and even more difficult to photograph or convey in words. If any of these areas are compromised, the end result can be as if there's been nothing done. Or worse.
90% of the pics posted on forums of finished Model 70 'bedding jobs' show these defects of workmanship and lack of understanding in glaring detail, by the way.
That's not a slam but rather it points out an opportunity to improve skills for those wanting to progress.
That won't be a popular statement, I know....but there it is.
Good shootin':) -Al
