I have a Model 12 Benchrest rifle (3-screws) in .308 Win. and I’m going to bed the action. There seems to be some confusion as to whether to bed the tang area or not. I’m reading both technic’s on this forum.
So what are the “REASONS” for bedding or not bedding the tang area ? As the stock came from the factory; the tang touches the wood at one place and not at others so that is of no help in answering the question. I’d like to hear the “REASON” for bedding or not bedding the tang area of this particular action.
