Barrel Bedding Block VS. Pillar Bedding

[karlrudin]

I am thinking about using a barrel bedding block vs using pillars bedding because i'm making my stock and this seems to be an easier way since i don't have any in-letting done yet. Has anyone used this system before on center fire cartridges. I have seen it done on .22cal. My new build is using a Shilen bull barrel, 1.125 diameter, and in 7mm08. The barrel will be the anchor point and the receiver will float. Any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated.

It's been done a bunch of times on centerfires and works very well. It is a straight forward project that doesn't seem to have any hidden tricks to it.

If your anchoring the barrel and free floating the action, you don't need any bedding block. Be sure te recoil lug has something behind it.

Not sure what you are calling a "block", but Choate essentially uses a chunk of angle iron to cinch the action down into. Extremely stable.

Seems like an all or nothing bedding approach. When you metioned a bedding block for a Savage, the Whidden bedding block came to mind for most of us and free floating the barrel and tang. Once you get the Savage tinkering itch, it seems like your always wanting to change something or try a different barrel.

That was the first one that popped into mind when I read his post. I have seen others and a fellow over on SP did one.

Wouldn't this 'fix' the issues with a tupperware stock?
