I've seen pics of it, but I'm not sure what the function/instilation of a V-block is. Is it used to replace bedding, by just dropping it in and placing the action on top, or do you need to bed the V-block to the stock first??
Newbie question prob. but I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to not use epoxy to bed the action.
Thanks
 
The V block is usually bedded into the stock. It wouldn't do much good just floating around between the stock and action.
 
Ok, thanks, it just seemed like the block can just be dropped in and it has pillars, so I thought it would just conect the top to bottom without epoxy

You would have to inlet the stock to accept the V-Block and bed/epoxy the V-Block into the stock. The question mark about V-Blocks is whether or not the action itself is straight. Even if the V-Block is perfect and you put an action in it that is not straight, it will be stressed when you tighten the action screws down. The best of all worlds may be to put a V-Block in and then skim bed it too. However, that will make the stock fit that specific action only. One purpose of a V-Block is to allow multiple actions to fit one stock. Some more info here.

Whidden V-Blocks

I have a Savage with an HS Precision aluminum bedding block. It is not of the V design, but I still skim bedded it.
