Did you "inlet" or remove much of the stock before bedding? I just checked for high points, roughed up the bed areas and skim bedded. Pretty easy. Use plenty of release agent and don't rush the job.

Sounds good,
I will be doing some work on it. Hunting season is right around the corner so trying to do everything slow and methodical. It may have to sit this season out? Hoping not but still need to work up some loads and get her skim bedded.

Shouldn't take more than a weekend if you take your time.

I remember those day. Now it only takes about 30-40 minutes. Especially a skim bed job. Esox, what ever you do, good luck my friend. I'm sure you'll get her figured out like you did with your Hawkeye.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I'm sure you'll get her figured out like you did with your Hawkeye. With the exception of waiting for the bedding epoxy to set, that's about all it would take if you have experience. Then disassembly, clean-up and re-assembly. Sometimes it takes me 15 minutes to get the mess cleaned up.

Thanks BSA, skim bedding shouldn't be to much of an issue and I will be asking for more information from you guys if I need clarification on it ;o). If I get this thing shooting like that Ruger I will be ecstatic! 1deer, business travel and other things have a way of taking up time. I hope that things will slow down enough to actually start focusing on the things I want to do? Never seems to have a few hours to sit idle?

Your preaching to the choir, brother. I just flew back in from Milwaukee Wednesday, got in at 3am, got a little sleep, back to work and I have a week off for some R&R this week with the family.

Esox357, You can definately use prussian blue, it's normally used in engine assembly for checking valve seats. Automtive supplies should stock it, it is a little messy but cleans up well with alcohol. Hope it works out for you, good luck. Cheers.

Enjoy the time off there Sir!
Thanks Wrangler and 416, that inletting should do great since I don't have any "blue" at the moment. Great suggestions by all!
