Bedding experiment
Here is the situation gentlemen:
Winchester Model 70 30-06 synthetic
- The rifle is aluminum pillar bedded
- steel bedded from 1-1/2" behind the recoil lug to 1" in front.
- In front of the recoil lug bedding 3" of concrete filler/sealant (caulking on steroids) filling the void in the stock and contacting the barrel.
Potential Result:
The Conrete filler/sealer will provide a harmonic damper for the barrel.
I will take it shooting this weekend once it is totally cured and give you the results.

I hope that you shot it after the steel bed but before the concrete filler. So we could get a before/after result.

Concrete filler? NOTHING accurizes a rifle like a premium sub-flooring adhesive. A quick search would have revealed that.

Well guys, it's been 3 days and the stuff still is not dry. This could be one of those "what not to do" experiments, but it's worth a shot, right? Confused

Dammit, 10! You should know by reading my "Mixin' powders..." thread over in Reloading that any experimentation is strictly verboten by the old-timers and high-posters in these pages. You start that crazy experimentin' stuff, and you'll get what you ask for. Just warnin' you now-- before the carpet-bombing starts...
