Thread: Bedding Jobs, I'm now convinced.

When a rifle isn’t shooting bedding is my 1st port of call
If its a second hand rifle I got cheap i do it myself

If its a new rifle then these days I consider it part of the Purchase its off to the gunsmith bed pillar bed and any other bits I want get done before it fires its 1st shots I want the rifle to be the best it can be before I Even take it home

Here’s another Example of a bedding job fixing a rifle
This was a old brno 601 in 243
It had a pretty nice bore apart from the last couple of inches so I had that trimmed off and threaded by the smith
Shot like this


Not bad for an old rifle but it was chucking a few flyers so with no cost involved but my time (bedding compound is free to me)
I decided to bed it
After bedding

The couple of groups not messured are from another rifle the Variances in groups size is ammo and me
It certainly turned it into a very accurate rifle For a 30 odd year old gun anyway

Sold it to a mate of a mate who is keeping me updated with its exploits and it’s kicking arse and takeing names on the pigs and deer
