Bedding a High Tech Specialties Stock?
I've heard some good things about these stocks, and I am considering one for a project rifle I'm building.

However, I also know they are, at least partially, injection-molded, which brings up the question of how do you bed the action into one?

Just curious.

In a word or two, it takes a helluva lot of Phuqueing around. I would never do another.

I don't remember having that much of an issue with bedding. It did take several attempts with epoxy on the outside to fill gaps and remove the mold seam.


As usual just my $.02

They have a very good tutorial on their website, I found it very helpful. I've done a few, didn't find them too much work, and I'm not overly gifted! I never was happy with my rattle can paint jobs, but I could live with them. Nice stocks, for sure.
Don't think I'd pay someone to do one for me, it would be just as cheap to run a mcmillan.

Mine was no problem at all, a tang Ruger 35 Whelen below. More than pleased.

Excellent stocks, be sure to clean all of the mold release off. I usually drill a few shallow holes to help anchor the bedding. I have used quite a few through the years.
