Glass-Bedding a Sako 85
Has anyone on here glass-bedded a Sako 85? When I looked over the recoil-lug arrangement (a really goofy setup), it was hard to determine how one would bed it.

The 85 has that separate steel plate screwed into the stock and that holds the receiver recoil lug, which is a small stud. I bed the plate first, then bed the receiver and first two inches of the barrel. And the rear tang. I use Acraglas gel; some use Devcon steel bed.
