I bed my rifles about 1.5" in front of the recoil lug. The two I built for long range shoot MOA to one mile. One of the others is a 1000 yard gun because it goes sub sonic just over 1000 and the bullets don't perform past that but it shoots sub MOA at 1000. My varmit gun puts 55gr bullets into 4 inch groups at 700 with a stock barrel.
My buddy does the same thing and shoots MOA to 2300 yards. I'll kep with bedding in front of the recoil lug.
But one can always not do that and try it then add the bedding and try it to compare then make a decision form there.
