Thread: Opinions on bedding job

UPDATE Guys,

Recieved the rifle back today. And..................not happy!! will send him an email soon.

As soon as I loosened the front action screw you could feel the action/barrel move instantly - same as the rear. Also it literally fell out of the stock with no effort whatsoever and from the research I've done it should be a nice snug fit which it isn't.

I'm not even going to bother sighting it in, as I really think it'll be a waste of time. One week before the start of my 4 weekends of enjoyment and I have no rifle that I can depend on. I guess it's time to send it to someone who really knows what they're doing.

Not good at all Grunta, I feel for ya mate. can you post up some picks of the 'repair' work? you would think the guy would have gone out his way to do a stellar job for you considering he fucked up so bad the last time.

I also agree with Brads, time to name the culprit so we can avoid them like the plague

Cheers for the offer VC. I'll do my prescout next week without a rifle, I can handle that (just!!), but hopefully it'll get sorted by the following weekend (easter) as that's going to be the biggy. hopefully and pun intended

Hey BRADS, totally agree and probably will but I've just sent him an email first, so I'll see how he replys.

Photos wont show the problems. It's a better looking job - no doubt but this time I don't think he's bedded it enough, even to the point I ctually though I know had a pressure point bedded rifle up the around the end of the scope.

I guess my brand new talley rings and harris bipod will have to stay in the cupboard a bit longer. lol.
