The trigger should NEVER be bedded........
If you are going to glass bed a rifle, its best to remove the trigger as well as any other parts that can be used. If you don't and they get into the glass, you'll need an axe to remove them. If you have never glassed a rifle before, I'd suggest take it to a gunsmith that will permit you too watch him glass your rifle. Its not super difficult to glass a rifle, but to repair a mistake is almost impossible. I'd also suggest that you have the action and the chamber area of the barrel glassed and leave the barrel free floating. Then if you ever want to have a pressure point on the barrel, it will be very simple to do. I hope that this is of some help.

Using a layer or two of electrical tape around certain areas will provide a proper fit that will enable all parts to be removed easily and yet look good. Any voids/holes should be filled with modeling clay or such to prevent the flow of epoxy into these spots and allow removal of the components.
