I just opened up my Weatherby to float it and get it ready to bed it and this is what i found. This is the 3rd stock they have put on the rifle during its life and have been very good about it with no questions asked. I never pulled the other 2 off to look and float so i don't know what they looked like. | ||

Yours has the recoil lug epoxied and the green spots are steel that is epoxied into the wood to give strenght. ________________________________________________ Maker of The Frankenstud Sling Keeper Proudly made in the USA Acepting all forms of payment | |||

Just pulled one apart myself and it looks like the old model70 hot glue. Jim Kobe 10841 Oxborough Ave So Bloomington MN 55437 952.884.6031 Professional member American Custom Gunmakers Guild | |||

Actually, ALL rifle stocks are "bedded". It is merely the recess in which the barreled action fits. I find it pathetic that the common usage of this term has come to mean filling in this recess with some form of epoxy! Weatherby's did quite a bit of research on how to reinforce their stocks. What they came up with is an oak bar embedded in epoxy. They use a 2 part adhesive made by, I believe, 3M (the green stuff). As can be seen in the pic, they do epoxy bed the recoil lug. Common thought these days also says that all rifle barrels must be free-floated. I would advise you to not free-float a light weight Weatherby barrel. They are "pressure bedded" for a reason. | |||
