Action bedding a 93R 17 BV

[arty-bum]

So the time has come to action bed and pillar bed my 93. I picked up Brownells accraglas gel and about to start my project. I figure I will bed the recoil lug at the back, and around the action screws. I want to pillar bed it as well because there is a small gap between the front screw and where it bolts into on the action. Ther small gap caused the wood to crack when torqued. The real questions I have are: should I bed the first few inches of the barrel where it contacts the stock and should I bed the sides of the action, as there is a gap between the action and both sides of the stock?

Thanks

I would probably glass bed the first 1.5" or so forward of the recoil lug where the stock touches the barrel (and free float the rest of the barrel). I would also bed the reciever walls (on the top part of the stock that touches the round part of the action. You might alsoo want to glass bed the tang.

thanks for the response, i never thought of doing the tang, but will take a peak at it. The nice thing is that the barrel already had a healthy free float so that saves me a lot of work...
