Questioned about bedding.

Yes there are many after market stocks as well as some that come on rifles that have a CNC machined aluminum bed for the action to sit on. Rem 700 sendero rifles have the aluminum bed. They are actually H&S Precision stocks that you can get aftermarket. Bell and Carlson Medalist and Hogue full bed stocks have the aluminum bed. There used to be, and and guess you can still get it, an aluminum powder that you can mix with fiberglass bedding.

Hi, thank you for your response. I was sure I heard people talking about aluminum bedded rifle stocks so I emailed McMillans about this and I have been emailed back advising that there is no such thing as an aluminum bed just some stocks have aluminum rails. It went on to say epoxy resin is used to mate a action to a stock.
I have not heard back from Bell & Carlson.
Blessings,

There is aluminum powder/epoxy mix for which you can use to bed with. Devcon products makes some. I have used it, but switched to Devcon Plastic Steel. But I dont think this applies to your question as your wondering about the intergral aluminum bedding block that HS pioneered the use of right?
If that is your question, those types of stocks are built using the aluminum bedding block as the "core" for which to wrap the glass/composite material to and are the major structural component of that style stock.
Or are you thinking aluminum pillars bedded in?

Hi, I recently decided to build a rifle I was hoping to build a 6.5 X 284 but it is not coming together like I hoped it would so I am looking at accurize my 270 CDL so I was going to start with the stock changed and bedded.
I was advised that it might be smarter to attempt to do this with a 7mm mag which is also a CDL.
I emailed McMillan and got info back advising that there is no such thing as aluminum bedding.
This evening I received a email back from Bell & Carlson advising that they make a stock for the 700 in a long action left handed and it will work with a detach clip. Also tonight a buddy of mine who has accurized a number of rifles advised that if I am getting under 1"moa that a bedded action would not likely make it any better. He is encouraging me to go after the 6.5X284 and just do it as I can afford it. He stated that any factory hunting rifle that is shooting under 1" moa is a keeper.
He has advised me that there is a barrel maker near Regina that is well respected and fairly reasonable. Supposedly does work for a number of bench rest shooter here in Saskatchewan.
I am just not sure what to do.
Blessings,
Dan

I would bed the recoil lug.That has always help my rifles shoot tighter,even if they shot under an inch.

Aluminum bedding blocks. Wby Accumark, Remington sendero, Savage Accustock etc.
Sask I just recently started bedding my rifles. Have done 5 rifles so far. I have seen some improvements in all rifles. As far as accuracy a few showed real improvements. One rifle in particular I bedded because I couldnt get it to shoot consistent groups. After bedding it shoots tacks. I would suggest bedding the recoil lug and rear tang on your m700. Its not a very hard task. Just take your time and its easy. Good luck.
