I love this site but after spending just a little time here it is clear to me that I do not know anything. I learned of glass bedding a few years ago and had it done to the Remington 700 that I used to shoot and it made a big difference. I thought buy buying a savage rifle with a free floating barrel would mean that bedding wasn't needed. I see from many of the post here that people are talking about bedding actions and piler bedding. can someone please explain what those are and if I buy a B&C medalist stock will they be needed?

Thanks and sorry for the dumb questions.
