You are correct on not bedding the tang on a Savage, it must be free floated like the barrel. As far as bedding the recoil lug, bed it but not the barrel nut. I put two layers of masking tape on the barrel nut and the face and sides of the recoil lug leaving the back of the lug that faces the action screw bare to bed into the epoxy. You can also bed along the action rail between the rear action screw and front action screw areas. You don't bed the mag box at all.
