Looking for some information on how people go about glass bedding a rifle.
I'm in the process of starting a .270 Win project with a Weatherby Vanguard I won at a banquet a few years back.
The gun was shooting around 1.0 to 1.25 at 100 yards with 130 grain cor-loks, so I believe with a good bedding job and handload it should be able to crack .75 and maybe even get to a low 0.6 or even 0.5 territory with it.
I have only ever glass bedded one rifle which was a Rem Sendero and it helped it alot, bringing it from a 1.0 ish rifle to a 0.6 ish rifle. My biggest question would be tapping either the front or back of the recoil lug. I seem to always read conflicting stories on this.
My other question would be are people screwing their actions down or tapping them down or using surgical tube to hold it down? I have seen a lot of stuff on you tube so I'm at a loss when it comes to what is the proper way and what is not.
I will be using a Bell and Carlson stock and Devcon epoxy for the bedding material.
I also have access to a milling machine at work to rough up the stock and knock down the bedding block to insure no metal on metal contact.
Thanks in advance.
