I have a question related to the OP's topic.
Has anyone tried the "drop-in" aluminum bedding block for the Model 700? What has to be done to the stock to make it work? I would assume drilling for the pillars at least. Its more costly than a glass bedding kit but looks like it would be quicker and easier installation. It should also lift the action slightly allowing the barrel to float. Just wondering if they were worth the money. If so it might be something for the OP to look into.
