how would you bed the recoil lug area with the block that holds the recoil lug?

also should i bed the entire length of the action or just for the two action screws?
 
why would you want to do that they're the most accurate production rifles in the world as it is. I shot their benchrest rifle in 6mm BR and I was basically putting round after round in the same hole. You do not need any bedding done to it
 
i did do research, mysticplayer has worked extensively with savages and he along with others do recommend bedding the action. yes i know that they are already bedding from the factory but its still a mass produced rifle that i think will benefit from a good bedding job. ill take a custom bedding job over factory any day. i bedded rifles before but i think if i decide to do this one i will bring it to a gunsmith.
 
The purpose of the Accustock bedding block "system" is that no other bedding is required - they designed it that way.

The accustock is not the old standard style stock that required bedding. Do some more research.....
 
i just think that it's a good idea im still not sure how it should be done, where to put the bedding. what compound should i use?
 
it's shooting pretty decent but i think there is room for improvement from what i've seen from other people that own the gun. i want to try to get down to 1/2 moa, its around 1 moa now with handloads.
 
could it possibly be your hand loads ?. bedding an accustock is not going to be an easy job. with the way the clamp works for the recoil lug it going to be a difficult job to bed there without gluing the clamp in place and locking your gun in the stock. the rest of the action shouldn't be hard, regular bedding compound should work fine.
is the gun a pencil bbl or a heavier bbl, that will impact your accuracy some as well.
 
neotekz, I suggest you bed as normal. If you can handle a good bedding job, preparing the locking wedge area should be no problem. The following link is a good one and although it isn't a Savage nor Accustock it shows the basics of proper bedding and what one should strive for. http://benchrest.netfirms.com/Bedding.htm

I like to bed the scope base at the same time, just before I bed the stock. If your using an expensive one piece base that is perfectly machined, your bending it when torquing the screws down because the action is not straight. Play around with it and tighten down the base screws to find out which point is the lowest or just tighten the front screw. You will notice a gap, shim for it so you can very lightly tighten the remaining screws. If all is good, bed it then after curing you can remove the shim and torque the screws down properly. You can check before and after with a straight edge across the top of the base. You will be amazed just how bent it is before and pleased that you bedded it, your scope will appreciate it too.

For the rest of you guys, no the stock is not bedded from the factory. It has a V block molded into the stock. Companies that make aluminum V block stocks brag that bedding is not necessary. It does work better than regular stocks that are not bedded but not as good as bedding. The barreled action is not perfectly straight even though you may think it is and bedding will allow much better contact than two angled sides. This is stated over and over again by top gunsmiths and top shooters worldwide.

Take some pics and if you like how it turns out post them :D
 
just a joke dude ..I figger how you are always going on about how safe an action is or not on the range...it will probably be you that has one eventually blow up on him!!hahaha!!SAVAGE FOREVER!!!
 
As I said I shot the 6mmBR with accustock and it shot about 3/8" at 100 yards and My other 2 Savages, 1 in .223 with a 26" bull barrel and the other in .308 win with a pencil barrel are basically tackdrivers without the accustock. so maybe your accuracy problem comes from somewhere else
