It is pretty easy to see the bedding material at the lug and the tang.
Omega you are the first person who actually owns this gun to post pictures of any sort of it. I have been trying to get actual info from anyone who ownes this gun for a loooooong time. Today you are my hero. Any info from you is like gold to me!
P.S. Are you going to re bed the rifle using hard epoxy? Have you shot the rifle, and how does it group? What calibre is your rifle in.
It is a 300Wm and it shoots around an inch at 100 with 165gr loads I've used . A couple groups are under a couple over and I've only shot 20 through it.
If I keep the stock I'll re-bed it. Right now I don't like how it fits. I find it too straight and thick in the wrist for my likes. Other than that it a very nice rifle.

Overall then it sounds like it will do the trick for hunting. Plus if you only put 20 through it and are not totally comfortable with the stock that means that there is probably some accuracy to be squeezed out of it by just getting a little more shooting in. I really want to just go out and buy one of these soooooo bad. It is probably only a matter of time. Although every so ofter I think a Tikka would be pretty nice too. I noticed in one of your other posts that you said you had an A7 sako. In your personal opinion how do you think the Winchester stacks up against the Sako A7 or the same for Tikka t3 if you have one of those?
The 70 shoots as well as the A7 and the T3, it weights more so it is more comfortable to shoot. I think if I put a McMillan Edge on it I'll like it better than the other two. It is a shame as other than the fit the stock is nice and stiff and the alum bedding plate is a nice feature.
I received that information from Winchester when I enquired about the rifle specifically to ask if they had plans to build a lefty.
You are accusing me of passing on "MORE" info that I don't have first hand experience with. Can you please explain that. I mean we are talking about a gourmet size helping of sturgeon eggs worth of epoxy here. Aren't we?
Just that you make statements as fact, such as "I knew they were bedded and the "new" ones are not bedded with "hot glue", when you have not actually verified this yourself (other than second hand info from a customer service rep who likely don't know themselves), that's all.
I have seen the bedding first hand and it sure looks and feels like hot glue to me.

How does one go about verifying "Hot Glue"? Smell it? Taste it? What?
Give me a break.
You're the one who stated it was not "hot glue." You tell me ?
But to answer your question, actually seeing it first hand and checking it out for transparency, density and texture for starters, and comparing that with first hand knowledge of marine tex, devcon and hot glue. First hand - who would of thought ?
About the density of hot glue?
