This is where I got my idea from...link.

I don't mind this if it works, but based on my bolt action know how and the crap action support of the 10/22, I was going to bed it where the bedding held it axially, and side to side, but the action screw held it down solid to the pillar. Sense the barrel clamp is weak, I was thinking about bedding out 3" from the lug. If it had vertical stringing, I would add another no up pressure support pad.

Then I read the link and thought I might be off base.

Fundamentally, this is a weak barrel attachment which needs some fancy bedding to over come that.

I'm wondering if just u shaped bedding support at the rear of the action and 2 pads, one at the screw and one mid barrel would be better.

FYI this is a Ruger action, Green Mtn Hvy Taper barrel ~17", in a Boyd's Tacticool stock.
