Luke the various reports for bedding an alum v-block like in the Choate have not reported any benefit. Try repairing issues you see first, and then examine the witness marks on the receiver to see that these reflect good contact with the v-block. There should not be any clearance to for bedding compound between the receiver and the v-block, so you would need to remove metal to achieve that. Another primary spot to investigate is around the recoil lug; no contact except on the back face. You can add a layer of tape on the back of the lug to test the degree of fit, but again there is no room there to add bedding unless you remove metal. I did need to open the tang area on my three Choates, but then they shot great.

Thanks alot, will do. This one shoots great its just got some type of stress built up that is relieved by the first shot. hope the issue i found fixes it. I milled the notch out an 1/8 inch deeper and the action seems to sit down farther which tells me that it was definitly binding on that point and not having consistant contact with the v-block
