The bedding block in these is a curious thing to me. I've seen two of these rifles accuracy improve with a skim bedding of that block, especially tang area because it looked as if it needed the most help.
A knowledgeable friend said it was because both had only 20 or so rounds down the tube and the barrel wasn't fully broken in when they were in factory condition.
But I found it curious that both rifles went MOA at 300 yds immediately after being bedded, which was a significant improvement over their performance in factory condition.
According to my friends theory, I guess if the owner would have just fired one more shot out of each rifle before bedding he could have saved himself a lot of money...
(rifles were NIB in 25-06 and .270. bought by same guy at same time for he and son this past Christmas)
I like the longer forearm on B&C versus the McMillan Edge, but I use a sling or prop up a lot when shooting.
