Thread: First stock bedding Job

Bought a remington 700 tactical as I've always wanted one with a mcmillan style stock for long range. Found a stock on trademe for $470 which seemed like a good deal, but when it arrived it wasn't quite I was after.
Buy once, cry once right? Well I'm a slow learner so after buying a second, second hand stock, I found that it was bedded about 3mm too high (stopping it feeding properly from the atlasworks bottom metal) slightly to far forward, and 2mm off center at the foreend, and just wasn't the right shape for the action to fit properly. Could have bought a manners for the price of both and be done with it.
Anyway I decided that with my CNC router and some pillar bedding, I can make it work.
