I already have a target Savage 12F in 6mm br and now want to build another. I already have a barrel in 6.5x284 and have just ordered another target action. Now what I'm thinking about is making a stock from scratch - I'm thinking of machining a bedding block out of solid lump of Aluminum, just a big Vee block really and then bolting that to something solid. (this does not need to look pretty, it will be shot in F class)

So - my question is: I have read several reports about these actions distorting when heat treated so would I be better bolting the action straight into the Vee block even if this leads to the action being true but under stress or am I better to bed in resin and let the action find its own position and work from there.

Any ideas would be appreciated
