I'll be bedding my remington 700 sps dm (.30-06) very soon. I've never done this before, but I am confident that I will be able to tackle this. My only concern is where to bed other than the action. This is not a bull barrel, its not a super thin barrel either, its just the normal barrel that came on this rifle.
I dont know if I should bed the action and first 4" of the barrel, then float the rest. Or Bed the action and about a half inch of the fore-end of the stock, at the tip. Or bed the action and float the rest, etc......
I had originally planned on bedding the action then free floating everything else, but the more I read, it seems benefitial to bed the first few inches of the barrel as well. Also I read that if you dont have a bull barrel, you should bed a small area at the tip of the stock, closest to the muzzle.
What do you recommend?
I know I could just bed a little, then test, then bed some more, then test, then experiment with pressure here or there and test it...but I figured many of you would have advice so that I won't have to do all that trial and error.
Thanks!
