Question for those with more knowledge then I:
I have a Grayboe Outlander stock that I would like to bed. When I sent them an email about bedding the rifle, I let them know I had a record lug recess that was .250", as my recoil lug is a .250" thick parallel side lug and it took a bit of shaving the paint to get it to fit right. Ryan McMillan emailed me back himself and told me early production models had the .250" lug recess and it was fine.
Rifle shoots great, but I still like to bed my hunting rifles. I used it as is this past season and took my deer at 230 yards, no problems. It isn't always as consistent as it could be, so I plan on bedding it in the next few days. Rifle is a Remington 700 Remage in 7mm Rem Mag 1 in 9" Criterion barrel.
Would you bother sticking a bit of Devcon in the lug area for the sides? Hog out a bit of the front of the recoil lug recess to bed the lug? I'm thinking about just skim coating the receiver and calling it a day.
Thoughts? Thank you!
