[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2103502, member: 87243"] Well, I know with the sides, bottom and front of the lug taped like I did in the photo, the gun shoots well under half MOA to well over 1000 yards. This season, that rifle was used on an elk taken with a cold bore shot literally through it's heart at 1002 yards, so if there is any loss in accuracy, it is not noticed in this particular set up. The action is torqued down to 65 in-lbs, for reference, it is a stiller tac 338 chambered in .338 Norma. I think there are many ways to skin a cat, and taping the sides may leave it open to twisting, I can see the thought process, but if it has happened it hasn't caused any known issues for me. I know the rest of the action is a very tight fit, when dropping it in it "clicks" in place. I have bedded with and without taping the sides, and I honestly can't tell a difference in the outcome other than getting it in and out once a year for my after season thorough cleaning. I have only bedded probably 50 or so rifles, nothing compared to pretty much any gun smith and many other shooters out there, so take it for what it's worth. [/QUOTE]
