I don't know anything about bedding a rifle. I just had a Winchester M70 Weather Extreme with an aluminum bedding block glass bedded by a friend. I now have the gun back, and have no way to evaluate the quality of the job. I was kind'a expecting to see a thin film of epoxy on the top of the bedding block, but maybe the bedding block mates so well to the button of the action it squeezed out all the epoxy? I don't actually know . . . . My friend is a good guy and does careful work. I am just not sure how effective the bedding may be. I'd be happy to hear comments and get some education on bedding.

Look fine to me. My ew is all factory, and shoots several different factory loads at or near moa. Shoot yours and see. I'll bet it's a keeper.

Looks like he did a fine job. Clean! With the application of the bedding material at the start of the barrel channel and at the rear action screw, there actually won’t be much, if any, actual contact with the bedding block. The barreled action will bottom out on the epoxy before making contact with the aluminum.

Looks good. Proof will be when you shoot it.

To me, its all relative. I had my Rem 700 bedded in my Grayboe and it "didn't look all that great". However, I didn't care what it looked like after I shot it. There are some spots on mine along the action at the top of the stock where it could have used a little more bedding material. But the sucker shoots .5 MOA at 200 yards and now I'm less worried about that slight void.

The tang area on M70’s is a mystery to me, for whatever reason.

The only proof is how it shoots.


I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

Looks like a clean job. Id make sure the action screw holes have clearance and that your mag box isnt tight. Other than that, you should be able to tell if its a good job by how the barreled action pops into the stock and how it feels when you torque the actuon screws down. Then shoot it and see what kind of accuracy you are getting. The real proof will be on the target.

Does your friend know that you submitted this post in which you publicly question the quality of his work?

That's the first thing that came to my mind when I read the OP. 2nd thing was that it looks pretty good.

Looks good. Did he tape off the sides, front and bottom of the recoil lug?

What does that matter? He didn't name his friend.

Well, if it was me, I would ask my friend to educate me before asking anyone else and I would be thankful he was willing to do it for me. And it is obvious that the work is nicely done.

Lastly, it is pretty clear that the rifle has yet to be tested.

Looks fine to excellent, depending on how it fits. Shooting only matters as an evaluation if it's accuracy was known prior...


Appears to have the thin layer on the block....

Zero reason to relieve the lug using tape. Heavy kicking wood stock, sure.

Why worry about the guy's friend unless it's you?

Goodness.
