Hi All,

Well the bedding is fine and it does not ned any synthetic fillers to bed the action to the wood as that wood has obviously been maching a good match for your action. As the old sayoing goes:-

"If it ain't broke ............ don't fix it!"

And that stock action match sure ain't broke..

It makes me laugh when I hear folks say that unles a rifle has bedding compound it cannot and will shoot accurately. I wondoer how Harry Pope managed all those records without stnthetic bedding compound?

What the real deal is that wood stocks are not cured properly like they used to be and so they are not stable, this is why real good custom rifle builders will not put a new stock balnk on a rifle, they use blanks which they have stored in the right conditions for at least 5 years. Then they know that the stock is dreid and cured and once fitted will stay stable.

Just let us kow how the hunting goes and what you get
