[QUOTE="chris matthews, post: 29679, member: 66"] Jake, I was clarifying that a glue in kob alone would not hold up. I understand what you are saying about flat bottom setting in, not on the bedding. But a weak arguement because again I point to Nesika. They commonly build "benchrest" actions in the round configuration with a tang that goes "in" the stock/bedding not on top like a Remmy. Point is is doen't really make a difference whether it is round or flat bottomed (that'a a whole 'nother arguement that will never be settled) it still needs some kind of recoil surface. Regardless, recoiling surface being on the tang still puts the action into compression even in super stiff custom single shots and even in low recoiling "benchrest" calibers. And to answer your question about the amount of lug sticking below the action- the reason the Badger's, Tubb etc stick down more than a standard Remmy or even a Win. is to provide more surface area to spread the recoil load over. Leverage does not come into play as there is no pivot point. Recoil comes straight back. It does not rotate anything in the stock. To answer MC's original question probably needs a little more info from him- I would guess the smith at BAT was asking him what lug he wanted, not IF he wanted one but I could be wrong. [/QUOTE]
