Did it in 1983 to a 700 ADL in .25-06 and went from 1.5” to 7/8” groups. Bushnells AcraGlass kit. Also stripped shiny stock and rubbed Formbys tungsten oil, for no gloss hunting rifle!
Nicely done, looked perfect. Scary bit using the dremel to remove metal. I wish you would have shown more of that part. I would be so unsure as to how much to remove? Anything you would do differently besides tape around recoil lug?
Yes, it is a bit scary the first time. I’ve done a few rifles now and every time there’s something that you learn. My main advice to anyone would be to take your time, do your research and be brave. As far as how much material should you remove, I think it would be difficult to remove too much but you could easily remove to little. If your using a good compound, it’s better have it thicker than to thin (depending on the stock in question).
What's your method or chemical used to get all of the modeling clay out? Cleaning that up afterwards is always the most time consuming and horrible part of the process for me.
@@KSpee01 I’ve only ever used the terminal ballistics kit and I’ve never had any trouble cleaning up. Not sure what clay he uses but it’s good stuff to work with. www.ballisticstudies.com/shop/MatchGrade+Bedding+Products/MatchGrade+Rifle+Bedding+Compound.html
I’ll try put a short video together on the results after I settle on a load. I’ve been working on a few recipes but have yet to settle on the winning formula. Currently using 7mm ELD-X 162gn with 69gn of AR2217 @ just over 3000fps. Grouping at just on 1” @100yrd. Ideally I’m after a half inch group so I might try some other options
Nice job mate.

Spell check, Tung Oil
Very good
Thanks

@@PhilNeedham I love his information. I have never used his products though!
Please do accuracy test
