A few replies on my thread about bedding action screws made me curious.
Nearly everything I've seen and read on the subject of bedding an action, suggests also bedding the first "inch or so" of the barrel. I mean, it's everywhere. Then along comes Bart B. who based on his qualifications and many posts I've read, really seems to know his stuff. He pointed out that bedding under the barrel was actually not a good idea - the barrel should be completely free-floating.
What I'm wondering is what % of folks are bedding the first inch or so under the barrel vs. the action only?
After you vote, I'd love to hear your reasons why.
