    Rifle bedding?

    Hey Guys, I have a tikka t3x with a carbon Hi-tech stock. Is it worth bedding the stock? If so where is the best place to get a kit around Otago or is there anyone in the Otago area that does this for a job/hobby
    Many thanks in advance

    Im on the other end of the argument, I bed all rifles, even those I have in chassis.

    Bedding done right will always improve accuracy.

    If a rifle shoots well enough without bedding, dont fix it, wait till it breaks.

    Greg at Custom Guns would be a good bloke to talk to, he knows his stuff.
