Thread: Best Product for Bedding a Rifle?

I have used Araldite before, but not convinced it's the best. Marine epoxy? Something else?

Brownells accuglass goes good. Ive heard of people using devcon a lot.

Have used this MatchGrade bedding compound that Nathan Foster developed for hunting and competition rifles. Local product, well documented and supported.

Plus one for the above post^^^ easy to use and great NZ made product.
Also Nathan gives some very handy advice on almost every rifle which pit falls on what to look out for.
Shame about the export thing.

Araldites ok it's slightly liquid so easier to work with than devcon but devcon withstands heat better.

This.

I spent hours on YouTube and reading Fosters instructions to get it sorted. Then bought a Dremel tool to grind out the shit jobs that I paid for to be done.
Both Sako 75’s.
Both Senator stocks that the lying fuckwit that used to run Senator fucked up. And ruined a set of Sako action screws in the process.

School yourself and take it slow. Immensely satisfying when it shoots less than 1/4 MOA.
