Welcome aboard.
Bjmurata resumed it quite well.. might end up with a hole familly, as siblings tend to live together... :)

Yours was made late '66...
 
As I said on the other Forum, it's all about rifle condition. Bedding, trigger, barrel, crown are the big part. Some rifles can provide you sub-MOA without too much effort, but others will give a hard time getting 2 MOA....
Powder, primer, bullet selection and case prep are also to take in count. So, your question is not an answer ready one.
 
Each guns is different. None of mine are bedded and they all shoot. You need to try it first, or bed it and hope it does better.

Does the 640 benefit from a little bedding up front and a floated barrel?

IMO, yes. Action for sure, barrel to be floated? .. maybe.
Many Husqvarna 640's have a crack at the tang, some are cracked through the stock web in front of the trigger as well. I've had a couple that were split all the way up through the receiver ring bedding surface to the recoil lug.

Mostly, the rear of the tang area is too tightly inletted, with little or no clearance provided behind the rear radius. As the recoil lug shoulder pounds back with firing, the tang wedges into wood and splits it. There is also often the issue of the tang's rear action screw moving into contact with the tang pillar sleeve on some factory fitted stocks. This can cause splits as well.
A "no stress" Marinetex bedding job of the receiver ring and tang area with a tape thickness worth of clearance at the tang, front, sides and bottom of the recoil lug .. has worked very well in my Huskies ... the majority of which have proven most accurate and consistent with the barrel free floated.
Thats the way it's been for me ... YMMV.

What synthetic stock would I use to replace the wood one on my Model 649, 9.3 x 62.
The previous owner installed a 'slide' safety a la my Midland 2100.

Thanks for your time!

Later....
 
I am not too much in the synthetic stocks, but you have the choice of the Butler Creek, Ram-Line (surely the most common one) and the "Champion", the latter I've never seen it myself.
Look for a M96 Small Ring stock.
 
Baribal,I have taken your advice from your post number 858 . I sold the Crown Grade 3000 in .270, eventually finding a 4000 . You were correct about that model being best suited to my particular type of whitetail hunting in thick woods here in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. The only issue is that it is in 7 x 57 instead of my favourite 270 !!! Perhaps I would be able to trade for a 4000/4100 or 456/458 in 270 at some point.Many thanks for your advice here on this forum.
