I'm ready to attempt my first glass bedding job- a new M70 with wood stock in 300 Win Mag.
Some questions for the experts -- Please don't reply if you have never bedded a rifle.
Can you guys recommend some good bedding material... I can buy an acraglass kit for about 25 bucks or a jar of Devcon titanium putty for a lot more, then I still need to buy a jar of wax or release agent. What kind do you guys use in your own rifles that has worked well?
When you tighten down the action screws in freshly bedded stock-- Do you tighten them down to factory torque? --- OR ---
Do you tighten them good and snug and then back off just a touch while the bedding sets?
I have read conflicting reports of how tight the action screws should be while the bedding is curing.
Anyhow, thanks in advance
