View Full Version : Savage 110/116 Bedding Question - Should I bed the blind magazine?

I have my Savage 300 Win Mag 116 ready for bedding in a new Boyd's thumbhole stock. I have the Savage 110/116 pillar kit from eBay.

Everything is prepped and ready to go. I am at the point of pouring in the bedding compound. But I wonder, is there any benefit to bedding the blind magazine? I have it taped off with several layers of masking tape already. But I don't plan on putting bedding compound inside the magwell.

I only plan to bed the area surrounding the front and rear pillars, and the receiver area above the blind magazine.

My question is...are there pro's/con's to bedding the blind magazine area?

TIA.

No, it will cause more problems than its worth with zero benefit.

I agree with Bill, I could only see it causing problems.

Thank you. I appreciate the input. No bedding the magazine.

Thanks!
