    As a mechanical/electrical tradesman I cringe at the misinformation on YouTube, thankfully we have professionals like you to keep people on the straight and narrow. Thank you for a truly excellent video on common sense bedding principles and pointing out basic engineering practices
  • Great advice as ever. I recall seeing videos with the errors that you refer to. Hopefully some actions are saved expensive follow up work after this video.
  • Thanks heaps Mark, you are so right . Every video I have watched regards this subject shows the torqueing of bedding screws. I will be attempting this bedding process for the first time and am so glad we have people like yourself not just with the knowledge but also prepared to part with it. Thanks again and cheers for sharing.

    Thanks for the great insight into bedding jobs. I’ve done half a dozen of my own rifles over the years with good results. Your thoughts are definitely food for thought in fine tuning my methods. You have a couple of ideas that may give me that extra bit of perfection. Thanks for that. Cheers.
  • @unclebob540i3
    Excellent discussion. Especially about factory actions and chassis. Cheers!
  • @rodstubbs4938
    I now understand bedding like never before. Awesome advice all ways comes from you
  • Thanks Mark now I understand what bedding a rifle is and how to go about it the correct way appreciate all you and Sam do for us viewers mate cheers Yogi 🤙🤙🇦🇺
  • Great information, really appreciate how you show the easy way and the problems that occur IF YOU DO IT THE WRONG WAY.
  • @kentowens2179
    Nice video! I totally agree. I have sets of headless action screws that I use just to locate the action into the stock. Then I wrap surgical tubing around the action to hold it in place while bedding is curing.
  • Hey Mark you really help us all... I am about to attempt my first DIY bedding and was thinking about how to avoid compound getting into the screw holes. Your solution is excellent. Also I thought tightening would be beneficial but I can see how neutrality is preferred rather than bedding to the stock with preloaded strains in the material from torquing the screws. Thank you for the education!

    Great advice Mark, I'm about to do a bedding job and thankfully ordered up inletting guide screws for doing the job.

  • @mater3709
    Great idea. I hear it takes a very smart individual to concoct an ingenious idea. I hope some actions are saved by this great advice and great video as always!
  • Hey Mark. Very interesting and helpful information. Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on how to do this, it makes a lot of sense. Would probably never have thought of it otherwise. 👍🏻
  • @macburgess6785
    This is the way I learned to do it, following Brownell's method. I haven't bedded a riffle in a while, it brought back how to do it again.
  • Very well explained. You certainly know what you are doing. Excellent video as always
