What material would be best for filling in a barrel chanel of a synthetic stock? I may be purchasing a stock that is currently inlet for a varmint barrel and I am putting a sporter barrel in it. My original thought is just epoxy but I am not sure if this would really be the best idea.
If it was me, I'd put 1 or 2 layers of gorilla tape on the barrel running the length not round and round. Then bed it as you would the action. The tape should give you plenty of clearance for it to be free floating when your done. Then you could always just paint it if you didn't like the color contrast of the bedding material and the stock.

I used a wood block to make the surface of the putty smooth and level (especially under the recoil lug so it wouldn't touch the bottom of the lug).
+1 This approach worked very well for me. I just use the Devcon 2-ton plastic steel epoxy. Paint/Duracoat to match.Quote:
