I have bedded a Choate Varmint but I did it before I shot it. My concern was with the recoil lug area also. I can't tell you that it was any more accurate than before but I can say that the recoil lug was making good contact with the front block, the bedding just showed a build up on the bottom of the lug, not on the face of the block. Does that make sense? In other words, I am not sure that it did anything.
