I have finally taken my Win 7 mag CRF out to a range after removing the rubbery hot glue bedding material put in the stock at the factory. This rifle has never shot inside 4 inches or so at 100 yards and frustrated me no end. Then I took the action out of the stock and found what the factory laughingly called bedding material. Scraped it all out and replaced it using a Brownell's bedding kit but then didn't shoot it for over three years. Guess I was afraid it still wouldn't shoot. Well, it does. It will now put three into about 1 1/4 inch at a 100 yds, with some groups less than an inch. I will take it as a back up to my 338 next year for elk. Until now it has sort of been just a pretty decoration in my gun safe but no longer. What,besides the desire to save money, could have possessed the factory to use hot glue for bedding an otherwise great action?
