Bob Galloway in Leslieville has done good bedding work for me: 403-845-8712

It is a fun thing to DIY as well.

It's not that hard. I just did my sako in a Boyd's stock. Shoots great. Not a perfect because of a few little air bubbles but not worth worrying about. I used Probed 2000.

Used some cut to length pieces of carbon arrows for less flex and some devcon on my SPS varmint. Worked great. Shoe polish for a release agent and you're good to go!

Does anyone have a good YouTube link they would like to share? I checked on there found some good videos but they all seemed fairly vague on description. Could just be me though. Would like to possibly try this on a couple of my rifles. All the videos I watched were wood stocks. Is it possible with composite stocks?

Through an offer from myself to help bed this gents rifle, the OP admitted to the fact it is a lever action rifle he wants bedded.

The ommission of this piece of the puzzle is thought provoking to say the least.

This is outside of my wheelhouse of expertise.

I've used bedding compound to secure a poorly fitted buttstock and rubber washers on mag tube screws (to 'float' the barrel) and a few other tricks but otherwise I don't know what you would bed.

I've bedded the tang (top and bottom) of a marlin 336 to help with preventing cracks and to seal the wood from absorbing oil thus softening it. Have heard of folks doing some forend bedding as well to remove forend wobble and improve consistency.

It has it's purpose.

Not on lever action, but I often bed the tang of double shotguns, be they O/U or SxS. Not defaming them, but Stoegers are notorious for developing cracked wood behind the tang.

I'm not very gun savy, the gun is a model 88 Winchester which the current stock is cracked pretty bad, I'm purchasing a new stock and was told the bedding it would likely prevent this from happening again..??? and to Dick284, I purchased a model 88 from you a few years back... funny that you replied to help...)

Funny is right.

I did throw some epoxy in that stock at the front action screw location, because it seemed sort of punky when I owned it. Not for the reason of acurizing the rifle, but to prevent the front action screw which to my recollection, threads into a dove tailed female thread section up on the barrel in front of the receiver, from crushing the stock.

Where exactly did the stock crack?

And with it being an 88, I could bed that sort of rifle, as it's no different than a 721/722 Remington. When you said lever I thought 94, or 336.

My offer still stands if you want a hand.
