Bedding a Rifle

[dgradinaru]

Im looking on getting a rifle bedded soon, but im not sure what the best style is as I herd theres a few materials to use. Im planning on getting done by a gun smith so what would the price range be for a rifle

Let me know on average price range and what material is best suited.

Thanks.

I'm looking to do the same with my .375 H&H. Tagged for following.

$150-$175-ish I think.

I've seen as high as $250...... But that was a bedding job where the stock had to be inletted just a bit differently. A Parker hale barrelled action into a Mauser stock..... Close, but just not quite right.

$150 seems to be average. I know a guy locally who will do a M-700 for $100 cash, hardly worth doing it yourself at that price!

Cheers

Typically free floating the barrel and bedding the action for best accuracy on a factory wood stock (700 or similar) starts at $75.
With pillars added it starts at $125.

Brownell"s Acraglas or Acragel is as good as anything. It depends on what your gunsmith likes to use...

Looks like this when finished

I was quoted $400 for a vanguard. The same guy quoted $750 to ream my .458 win to .458 lott. He used to to good reasonably priced work. I think now he just does good work.

If anyone knows a good person to do this (bedding) in edmonton at a reasonable price, send me a pm

Acraglas or Acragel is just two part epoxy with fibreglass filler. Works well and is easy to do yourself by simply reading the instructions on the box. Kits run about $30 at your local shop.
Epp's smithy starts at $100 for a bedding job.
