Savage bedding?
- Thread starter LeePeterson
- Start date
If you're trying to figure out where the bedding material goes, put it around the receiver and under the chamber area of the barrel only. And don't forget the release agent. You may have to route out about 1/16" of stock too. Not always though.

No problem LeePeterson. I'm not too sure what you mean when you say "epoxy in the front side of the piller that the recoil lug sits infront." I basically placed epoxy around the pillar areas and filled the recess for the recoil lug (tape the recoil lug as described). Also make sure you fill the grooves on the barrel nut with modelling clay to prevent a mechanical lock. Here's another example with additional pictures:

You definitely want to get the area that recoil lug sits against, that's the main area of importance with these rifles. You should also make sure to have bedding around the sides of the lug.
With these synthetic stocks you'll need to rough it up quite a bit so the bedding bonds properly to it.

Should I fill in the parts marked green in the picture with epoxy? Or do I use something else?
Oh, that area. Yes. Make sure you use something to get rid of any air pockets that may form.
