Nice job northern_dave, well done. Here is how I did DIY bedding on my Interarms Mark X MZ (clik on Interarms Mark X MZ its a link to photo gallery). I used Loctite 3479, shoe polish as a release agent. Thats my first bedding job. Rifle shoots great.
I really like the idea of taping the barrel to center it in the barrel channel. I'll start using that one myself, thanks your sharing your knowledge!!!
Just read this entirely and it's good to read all the helpful knowledge and there was no one slamming one another. The DIY by northern dave was very well done and explained how and why.
