No time for a trip to the range this weekend unfortunately. Too time poor. Only range time I had was baking muffins with the daughter, so not a bad result I guess.

I'll update on how it shoots when I can find a spare weekend day over the next few months.

I appreciate everyone's comments. I'm new to the whole bedding thing so was unsure if the finish was to be expected or not. While I know a rifle is a tool
and dings and marks happen out hunting it is also one of the few things I take real pride in, and this rifle is destined for my son in a few years as his first rifle, so was hoping for a clean and neat bedding job.

As mentioned above, being very time poor I'd prefer not to have to tidy up the edges myself, but will most likely have to do so as time permits, rather than have the rifle out of my possession for another month or so.

I will reach out to the gunsmith in due course, however at the moment he is non-contactable.

Have you had a look at Nathan Foster's tutorials ? looking at those will give you an idea of what a good job should look like
