I just did one 1st go around did not use enough bedding so cut it all out tried again and it came out pretty good for my 2nd try. Learned a lot from that one. Now onto my unbedded lefty model 70 in a 270 that shoots real well 2.25 inch groups at 300yds. I'm hoping this tightens it up even more.

thanks for sharing your expertise bsa. one question I didn't see you address but perhaps I missed you mentioning it. do you have a tough time removing the barreled action after bedding in that you don't tape the sides and front of the recoil lug for some clearance? thanks

This method works great. If you use enough of the right release agent, they pop out after about 5-10 good whacks. Keep in mind I don't smack the heck out of it, they are just very controlled whacks.. Thanks for the question.

Great Job BSA. Basically the only thing I do differently when bedding is to use rubber tubing vs. the electrical tape. I can control the "force" by how tight I wrap the rubber tubing. It comes off cleaner also. Thanks, I appreciate all of your comments. Tubing would also work great. I know guys that use it and it works good for them. The electrical tape doesn't leave a smudge because of the Johnson's paste wax on the stock anyway. The paste wax does a few different things in this bedding process: Protects the wood from stray bedding compound (won't stick to the wood with the paste wax on it), keeps the electrical tape from really sticking to it, it also helps to waterproof the stock (which is a good thing), speeds up bedding time because you don't have to tape the stock off. Check out the finished/cleaned up parts I showed pics of and that is the best proof I can offer. Kind of a win win deal by using the Johnson's. It was a trick my gunsmith told me about and it works great.

I just did one 1st go around did not use enough bedding so cut it all out tried again and it came out pretty good for my 2nd try. Learned a lot from that one. Now onto my unbedded lefty model 70 in a 270 that shoots real well 2.25 inch groups at 300yds. I'm hoping this tightens it up even more. I don't know if I'd mess with a rifle that already shoots 2.25 inch groups at 300 yards. Sounds like it's good to go already..

How do you keep the barrel centered in the channel while bedding, when necessary?

How do you keep the barrel centered in the channel while bedding, when necessary? Sometimes this is necessary. I usually put a couple wraps around the barrel with electrical tape. This keeps it centered pretty good... I've also put tape on the barrel with plenty of release agent and glassed the barrel channel to keep it centered and allow for the right amount of freefloat:

Also, why not leave the dummy action bolt in the front hole, and tap on that with the hammer to release the action from the stock? I always thought that was less stressful than hitting the barrel. Am I missing something?

I wouldn't do that personally. If you miss and smack the stock you'll feel like a dumb azz... Trust me, the way I outlined is the easiest way and it hurts absolutely nothing..

Am I missing something? Did you ever get that barreled action out of the stock you bought from swampy??
