Hot glue as bedding compound....

I agree with the winchester comment, I owned the same gun in .243 and it was crap. bedding, crowning, custom loads etc couldn't save this red headed step child! Replaced it with a Browning lever gun in 22-250 and havent looked back since! Best move i ever made was to get rid of the Winchester for the Browning.

Some would find taking that bedding out and putting 37 cents worth of epoxy in its place too much to handle.

Indeed, amazing that a modern American factory can't put that little effort and material into a rifle that costs as much as they are asking these days.
 
glue it isn't the reason the gun shoots 12 inch groups, I'd look 12 inches back of the butt pad first.

Now... the professional hi priced gunsmith from southern Alberta that headspaces gunS using loctite on barrel threads instead of cutting the chamber properly? that would be a different story altogether.

Goodness sakes, do tell. Sounds like something the over rated group in northern BC would do.....
 
95% of other makes have no bedding at all. If you don't like it, pop it out and bed it yourself.

8-12" groups would suggest a scope or mount issue over bedding. Is the rifle wearing a cheap scope?

A friend just bought a new savage axis and it wouldnt hit a 4x8 sheet of plywood at 50yds. I suggested checking the mounts, and sure enough the factory had put the weaver style rings on incorrectly. After fixing, the rifle now shoots 1" groups.
