Bedding question
I have a Weatherby Vanguard stainless and was wondering if the factory plastic stock can be glass bedded?

Most epoxies will not stick to the material the stock is made of. You can drill and roughen the stock and put a gob into the recoil lug area, but it will never be really solid.

The older (Butler Creek?) lightning stocks were pretty good, actually. You should be able to free-float the barrel and call it a day. I have a Model Seven in a modified plastic stock that runs contrary to Scorches experience... But I took out a lot of material and drilled a bunch of holes at different angles (and hogged out the bottom a bit). I used steel-frocked epoxy as well. -tINY |

Sounds like it might be better to get a replacement stock. Any recommendations for a decent drop in stock?

The B&C I have was not drop in, despite the marketing claims. I'd look at the Hogue with the full bed. -tINY |
