Epoxy Pillars

[lwh723]

Going off what somebody suggested in a previous post, I decided to just put epoxy pillars in my 77/22. I did it in two parts. Bedded the top side first, then bored in from the back side and bedded the trigger guard and front bolt. After I bedded it, I then just drilled through the epoxy. Seems to have turned out ok. The magazine holder around the front bolt, looks kind of crappy, so I'll probably redo that.

This was my first bedding job. Mostly guided by posts from guys on this board, so my thanks goes out to you. If you're familiar with the 77/22, you probably realize that bedding my 10ML is going to be a piece of cake compared to this thing.

So what do you guys think? I suppose I need to take some pictures of the insides.

Rear "pillar"


Front "pillar"


Whole gun (that's a Lilja barrel)

;D That Ruger looks like it will shoot. I think I see some size 11's in the foreground. You photograph a bit like I do. ;D
Nice rifle.

LOL, you're pretty close on shoe size.

It shot pretty good prior to bedding, and that was with a stack of washers between the stock and action to get it to seat right. I'm eager to see what it'll do bedded well. Don't know if it'll help the grouping or not, but POI seemed to wander a little prior to bedding.

lwh723: ;D I was going to say you type like I do but you cleaned that up before I could type it in. ;D Good shooting and let us know how it groups before and after.
