Rifle bedding

Gents

 

I live in the SW Scotland area. Is there anyone here who could help me with bedding my 30.06

i have pillars and a suitable stock. It is a remington SPS rifle with bottom metal not a detacable mag system

 

In the future i may be getting one of our members experimental types but first of all i want to try the set up in the stock i have.

 

Of course i am willing to drive any reasonable distance for the right job.

 

Thanks

Thanks for that but i know exactly whats needed. I was wanting someone to actually do the job because of time constraints while i am working in Norway.

 

I know there are some guys further South from me.

There are plenty on the site who will do the job for u and do it very well.

 

 

Location isnt an issue - just choose who u want to do it, box up the rifle and send via TNT through your local shop.

 

 

Tom Young will be closest to u if u wanted a local chap.

If TNT gave a fixed price for the courier work ie no matter how far [no experience so don't really know] then the distance isn't an issue and you could choose who you liked best.

From experience I have never paid more than £25 with TNT for firearms carriage.

If i,m reading this right you have an SPS ? Dont bed the std stock, and dont let anyone tell you it WILL bed successfully, because it wont. They are made from a type of nylon, that bedding wont stick to properly, and will flex and eventually crack any bedding put in there. Get a decent stock first, then have it bedded.

exactly the advice I would give re the SPS, but I read the post that the rifle is to be bedded into a decent (if unknown) stock.

Take Baldies advice here, dont even think about doing this on an injection moulded stock.

Thanks Guys for all the replies.

 

The stock i am using initially is a CDL wooden one which is a decent bit of wood.I want to try the rifle properly bedded before i invest in something costing a bit more.

 

Its currently in a Hogue stock and shoots OK but i just want to see what more i can get out of it.

The CDL,s are a nice stock. Get it properly pillared then bedded, and you may find that you dont have a reason to go any further.
