Anyway, I mixed up some of the 'Score-High Pro-Bed 2000' from MidwayUSA, and bedded a 10/22 last week. It seemed to help shrink groups, so I dug around in my parts drawer for the 'competition trigger kit' I knew I'd bought years ago.
I added a Power Custom 'competition' Trigger Kit (Hammer, Sear, Trigger, Buffer, Shims, Springs) for the final touch, and was very pleased. A fair chunk of change for the trigger kit, but not much for the bedding kit, and they both seemed to improve accuracy markedly (ten shots in a ragged hole at 25 yards, and 4" gong at 100 yards 9 of 10 times
). Since I was on a roll, I bedded my son's Remington 788, filled in a defect in my Ruger Bisley grips, and bedded my Ruger 96 lever-action suppressed 'newbie' gun, which is a tack-driver anyway (now it also shoots just as well, if not better, as the 10/22 - I'll have to put a scope on it to tell for sure, but in 'newbie' mode it sports a red-dot holosight).
For anyone who has been intimidated by the 'if you mess up, your stock will need chiseled from your action' factor regarding glass-bedding, I'd say the Pro-Bed 2000 kit makes it almost childishly easy. You'll do best if you also have a Dremel tool for creating pockets in the stock for the bedding compound.
Granted, most two-piece levergun stocks aren't really all that amenable to the bedding process, but many of you have bolt-guns or others that could be really improved with a simple 30-minute bedding project. Try it...!
Believe me, if I can't screw it up, you can't either...!
Glass bed the stock and never have those fine splits that emanate from the tang.
