It has always seemed very simple to figure out how to bed an action.
(Never messed with Garands, or Rugers)
A couple screws hold the action in. Wherever they enter the action there
needes to be support. So the clamping force is focused to that area
of the stock and action. The recoil lug needs supported where it takes
force(the rear). Nothing else should be tight, it becomes a pivot point at worst. A place to inconsistency transmit harmonics at best.
Look at an action, it becomes simple.
Bedding the barrel?
Gotta deal with "what's normally best", and go from there.
Either accept results, or go down the rabbit hole of how to bed, even
branching out to tip pressures and how much.
Always been able to satisfy myself with a free floated barrel.
My standards are old and outdated by many 1" @100yds.
And experience limited to my guns and not many others for few friends.
Maybe what some pros do monthly.
