I bed the rear tang, receiver, lug and front of same for say 2" or so and then free float. Lug is bedded tight. Never had any issues unless I did something stupid like cant the barreled action some, etc.
Far as the rear tang with no bedding IMHO it's not so "critical" with a Rem or Win since the tangs are wider and longer than a Ruger or Mauser. That being said, I've gone to method mentioned above. Tight and stress free is where it's at.
