Bought a wood stock to replace a plastic one for a bolt action 338 WM and need to bed it. Looking to buy a kit that comes with the bedding compound, mold release etc. since it will be only one rifle. Not thinking of pillar bedding, it has a big lug where the BBL screws in. Will be free floated but bedded an inch or so in front of the lug back to the tang.

I use JB Weld w/ shoe polish for most guns for the simple reason it's the only one I can use without issues. The Probed 2000 kit is great and I love it however, I have an allergic reaction for a week every time I use it. Benadryl doesn't even begin help. The Probed kit comes already dyed to color so you can't necessarily match it to your stock but it seems to match well to most stocks anyway. It really is a great kit. Most Devcons also give me an allergic reaction as well. The original Acraglass is junk in my opinion, avoid it like the plague. People say the gel version is better but I haven't used it personally.
 
I have used and still use Devcon 10110, Marine Tex and Pro Bed 2000, and Kiwi polish for release. Out of the three, Devcon has the consistency I prefer. They all get the job done. For a one time deal, the Pro Bed kit with release would be my choice.
