Bolt action competition rifle. What is the current thinking on the best practice for bedding the recoil lug? I recall that in years past it was just the rear, while some BR shooters bedded the front and sides as well. Given that the bottom always has clearance.

I'm talking about a dead flat washer type lug, tapered on the sides.

Stupidity has its way, while its cousin, evil, runs rampant.
