Just got my first HS stock with the alum bedding block. Are they really a "drop in and shoot"?
Are there basic tweeks that will provide an even more stable home for my action / barrel? I'd like to know what folks recommend.
Also, regarding wooden or synthetic stocks without an alum bedding block. I typically glass bed the action and first few inches of the barrel and free float the rest of the barrel. Now Im thinking about pillar bedding in lieu of glass bedding. Does your experience show pillar bedding, glass bedding, or both to be a more stable system?
What do you folks recommend for a stable long range platform. Looking forward to seeing if there is any consensus on preparing a stock.
