I talked with Dick at McMillan last Friday regarding a new all-graphite Hunter's Edge stock for my Remington 700. He said that the stock has thin-wall aluminum pillars molded in (3/8" OD, 5/16" ID), and that the only bedding that is really needed is the front lug. I would like any opinions on how much bedding to do on a stock like this for an accurate hunting rifle.

If you trying to save weight as little as possible. Not sure what caliber. Unless you can tell its a bad fit, I would shoot it first, may shoot fine. If it does need bedding as little as possible. It's a pillar stock, its not going to need much if any, teaspoon.

All stocks need bedding for the rifle to give it's best accuracy, IMO...

Rancher, I agree on bedding for accuracy. Come to think of it I think all mine but one is bedded. But I'm not on the the super accuracy kick I once was on, sub MOA doesnt do much for me when I get to the top of the hill blowing like a bull trying to get cross hairs where I want them. Maybe I need to get in better shape
