Savage Shooters - DIY Rimfire Bedding Block & Pillar Bedding: Reinforcing the Boyds' Laminate Stock--[SIZE=3][FONT=verdana]Page 4[/FONT][/SIZE]

With the barreled action fully supported by metal-to-metal contact with the pillars and resting stress-free in bedding, a secure and stable engagement of the barreled action to the stock is achieved. The action screws tighten immediately when the action comes in contact with the pillars and the barrel remains fully free-floated. Without a doubt, these modifications greatly increased the strength of the connection between barreled action and stock!

Before the barreled action was placed back in the stock for the last time, an Apachee trigger kit was installed with the trigger pull weight adjusted to 30 ounces.

Finally, here are some "beauty shots" of the rifle reassembled in the modified Boyds’ stock. A trip to the range for a full evaluation will be done soon and I will post the results in this thread.

On the outside, the slightly different hardware holding the bottom metal in place is the only visible difference from a normally installed piece.

Hardware used to secure the c-channel to the DIP bottom metal.

A short piece of the c-channel was also used to reinforce the two sling studs which were screwed through about a half inch of wood.
