Thread: Remington accuracy

@CamFlatt... Regarding the JB Weld comment, maybe you're confusing the bedding terminology, maybe not, hard to tell. Apologies if you're just talking about using JB Weld to glue pillars in place, but you often hear of guys wanting to use JB Weld for an epoxy bedding job, which is a totally different type of "bedding".

Pillar bedding is the inserting of two metal sleeves in the action screw holes, to give the bottom metal and action solid, incompressible "pillars" on which to apply a set torque to the action screws.

Epoxy bedding is what Nathan Foster writes up on his website.

You can google the differences between the two bedding methods. Very important to understand what they are and what they do. For max effect, you do both, but for your application just pillar bedding should suffice.

Pillar bedding your stock is easy. @Mooseman has just done it to the exact same stock, with good outcomes. I do not glue the pillars in place, I drill out the holes to within 0.25mm of the OD of the pillar and tap/press them in.

As others have mentioned, something else is also likely to be contributing to poor accuracy. Don't worry! Use a systematic approach of elimination, and you'll work it out.
