[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1464412, member: 2736"] It's also known as the barrel shank. I generally bed a small portion (1/2" or a little more) depending on the barrel length and weight to help support the weight for the action. But I don't recommend bedding the shank beyond the straight part, Because it can push on the action when it heats up and change the POI. Some Bed about 1" of the straight shank and remove it a little at a time. this is time consuming and the results will vary, so I have found that deciding on the shank bedding length is best done up front and you will get good results without trial and error. be sure and locate the point where the shank diameter changes and stay away from it with bedding. Bedding a small portion of the barrel shank helps in my opinion and if done right and free float is good beyond, it helps support the action better. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
