Just wondering what everyones opinion is on bedding a aluminum V-block stock?
I have a choate ultimate varmiter and love it. I have had the rifle in this stock for a few years and had to take it down to do some work. (wont go into much detail) but I went ahead and had the action T&T at SSS and a couple other things.
I am wanting to get the most out of it I can. I have bedded the scope base as I found if I snugged up the front screws, the back of the base lifted off the reciever a hair. Also installing a new scope.
Anyways, I was wondering if there was anything I could do to the stock. I found my tang was touching, so I floated that. I have searched around a bit and it seems its mostly 50-50. Some say to bed it, as any and all stocks could benifit from it, while others say thats the whole point to a V-block stock, is you do not have to bed.
So I thought I would get some opinions from here.
