Hi guys. I think I'm going to new gunsmith to have my bear hunter rifle pillar bedded into a laminate stock I had made for it since the gunsmith I sent everything to hasn't even began to work the rifle in six weeks since he received everything. The new gunsmith suggested I do a steel bedding as aposed to a glass bedding as glass bedding is susceptible to "crush" over time which was simply explained to me as glass bedding crushing overtime due to air bubbles or something. I have not found too much research regarding pros and cons of both so I've decided to post to the professionals as many of you have schooled me on the unknown before.... and always appreciated. I am pillar bedding a 300 win mag. Am I better off with steel or glass bed? Does steel bed corrode (humidity... I live I NY) And a little off topic... has anyone heard of Parker gunsmith in Danbury CT.? That is who I may have do the gunsmithing now. Thanks guys. Any and all comments appreciated
