Just curious as to the standard procedure for you guys on hunting rifles. In the past, I've generally bedded the lug and the action forward of the magazine well on bolt actions, as well as the tang. If the stock was touching the action anywhere else, I usually sand out the inletting a bit to allow the action to float on just my Devcon at the action's front and rear. I've received several secondhand stocks over the years where people have obviously bedded all the contact surfaces along the full length of the action. Also, some advocate bedding just the lug/front area and not sweating the remainder of the action, barring any unwanted contact from trigger pins/components and/or pinched magazine boxes.

Thoughts?
