I am somewhat building a rifle right now. Started with a savage trophy hunter xp M11 in 308 (Dumb, but thats what happens when someone else says no to a 1000 dollar rifle like what I wanted......). I am upgrading to PTG DBM, Boyd tactical stock, and possibly oversized bolt handle. Eventually may even invest in Sheilen (incorrect spelling?) barrel and Jewel trigger. I haven't decided on how to bed the action yet though in the new stock. Pillar bed, full bed, etc? I don't know how the stock actually is yet, as far as the current bedding in it, I just know that itll be free floated with my sporter barrel. What are your alls thoughts on bedding the action and such? I am fairly new to this precision shooting stuff. I have messed with triggers and freefloating before, but never actually anything major. Ill be on here quite a bit for the next several months I suppose asking questions from more expierenced individuals on whats best and whats not, so thanks in advance.
As 788ham put it, I need to get a few things ironed out here. First of all, lets assume this gun is headed towards tactical build. Heavy, rugged, yet accurate. I have located a DBM and Boyd TactiCool stock. DBM from PTG. I need to call and see about fitment of magazines on that though. So accutrigger, savage 11 action, factory sporter barrel, boyd stock, and PTG DBM. I realize that tactical usually means heavier barrel, but sporter will work fine for me right now. Thats straighted out now. So glass bed around recoil lug and rear action screw and free float tang is the most common answer I have seen in other forums. Thanks again. Sorry for the inconvience.
