Offseason is here.. Mine has been fine without bedding but I'd feel better about it being bedded. I've never done a full bedding. Process seems simple but I assume a guy should be removing a little of the existing inletted bedding to make room for material? Probably want to make sure I don't mess up depth of bedding either and impact function.

Question on action screws. I started trying to diagnose why i was having so much trouble getting my magazine to seat on one barreled action when I hadn't previously had the same trouble with another. I think the issue was the magazine retention spring just being slightly canted. I used a 7/16" open ended wrench to hold the spring in place and it seems to have helped some. My next issue came when I tried install a third barreled action and when I torqued to just 45 in/lbs the bolt would not close, I was probably 1/4"-1/2" from the cut for bolt handle. My initial assumption, since the blockage appeared to be towards the front of the action, was a front action screw issue. Now I think its a rear action screw problem and likely need to just shorten it some. Anyone else having issues like this? Factory bottom metal.

What is making you think about bedding it? Do you have some space/movement?

Mind was TIGHT to get in place originally (I had to beat an action in with a mallet initially, its fine now once the first one seated). With high torque I don't see any movement. Haven't gotten much trigger time yet though, hoping to get out over Christmas.

I just don't trust that the inlet is perfect and "stress free". It is tight.

You should be able to easily visibly see the rear action screw from the top with the bolt out, is it protruding? Are you certain the rifle is seated full on the recoil lug?

Gotcha, yeah mine is tight also. I'd be inclined to shoot groups on a known rifle/ammo before and after before fussing with it unless you just want to tinker. Don't mess with what isn't broke/causing issues. $0.02

I had the same problem. I added. A small washer to shim the action screws and that fixed it. I'll probably bed it at some point.

All of my Rem 700 actions have wiggle room in the Rokstok. Looks like i will have some winter bedding projects.

For those that are looking at bedding stock now, were you seeing point of impact shift after reassembly?

The rifle is completely seated, I'll look to see if I can see the bolt protruding.

I did the same with a shim kit from High Desert and it fixed the issue. Factory mags fit much better/cleaner afterwards as well.

An additional advantage of this method is providing a more factory up-angle to the projectile tips as they approach the feed ramp.

@Unknown Munitions I know you said sometime in 2025, you will resume sales, Any idea of a firmer date range?

I've bedded several. If you want "stress free", the action shouldn't be touching anything but the pillars prior to bedding, and the bedding does nothing but displace the air. Btm metal also shouldn't touch anything but the pillars. Action screws won't compress the bedding because the action and btm metal are held solid, and correctly spaced apart, by those pillars.

Is there a usual preferred um height for the rs1.2 with a rokstok?

Thinking about the leather pad too. From searching it seems like … mediums?

I like highs but I think I have a short neck so I end up further back on the shark fin than many and I also like a more upright head and light cheek pressure. Also works for playing nice with muffs. I’m sure meds would be fine too.

I have an RS1.2 on a stock Tikka with low UM rings. The chart on their website recommends lows and when I bought them in store at UM they confirmed. I can see the top of my suppressor in the scope at low power and wonder if mediums would fix that. Is it hard to get your face behind it...

Because you're all whiny and keep asking. Especially you, @Ryan Avery.
