I've bedded my vanguard s2 synthetic stock (257 wby) with marinetex grey epoxy. First 3" of barrel rest free floated, recoil lug and front of action up to magazine, rear tang area as well. Only pressure point is at rear of recoil lug. I could not get rid of the forearm flex with resin fill. It will shoot 1/2 to 3/4, 3 shot groups with 100ttsx and 90 gmx, factory loads.
What bothered me was action screws loosening up a considerable amount after each use. It seems bedding has fixed that problem. So far it has about 35-40 rounds through it and has not let loose.
Good to see others had succes
