Just got my Stevens 200 bedded into its new FT from Boyd's, so I'm reading this again waiting for it to cure enough to crack it open. I went with a pillar/recoil lug area bedding job. The rifle was floated from the factory, but the tupperware stock it came in was a flimsy POS. I was getting the 2 shots in, 1 out groups that drive me crazy, even though they were about 3/4". I'm hoping for one hole now.
This tutorial was great for someone like me that had never tried this before. Being a machinist gives me the urge to try this stuff, but without the experience of others, I'd make a wreck of it for sure. On a side note, the machinist thing came in handy for making some custom pillars.
