Got a rifle coming soon, and I'm thinking it'll probably benefit from glass bedding. Will see how it shoots first, of course, but unless it's shooting half-MOA or something like that, I'll probably glass bed the action just to see if it will get shooting a bit better.
Here are two kits we're considering:

http://www.midwayusa.com/product/1406321274/score-high-pro-bed-2000-glass-bedding-kit
The minor cost difference isn't important; both kits are a lot cheaper than expected. I'd gladly pay double for a different kit if I had enough reason to believe it to be a genuinely superior product.
If it matters, the rifle is a Savage 110 .30-06, topped with a new 3-9x40 VX1. We have no expectations of it being any sort of precision rifle, but if we can get sub-MOA accuracy from it, great. Will keep the original synthetic stock for now, and if bedding doesn't get us to where we want to be, we'll consider upgrading that a bit later.
Hoping anyone has experience glass bedding a rifle, and possibly with one of these two products. Or, if there's another kit somewhere else that I should consider using, please tell me about it. Thanks a bunch.
BTW, my "knowledge" of bedding technique is coming pretty much exclusively from this video:

If you notice him doing anything I should avoid, and want to let me know, that'd be great.
