GLASS BED

REM 700BDL 6BR Norma. The rifle was glass bedded 30 yrs ago with the original barrel. Should the glass bedding be touched up with a new barrel?
 
you bet, but if the rifle shot well before, dont change anything under the action/aroung the recoil lug,

clean out the area under the chamber in front of the recoil lug and then rebed the first 1.5-2" under the chamber being sure the rest of the bbl is clear.
When you do, be sure to tighten the action screws as if you were going to shoot the gun, thus the beding under the bbl wil match the action position that you have had all along.

Wot the Hell just blow your money ;D 30 years between barrels why not get the bedding job two , you realy should ease upon the barrels though the way your going you might need another in 15 years :P,

Ps it would make good sence to re bed the action and barrel after so long.
 
After 30 years the throat in that rifle is probably slicker than my 'Willy'!! Get a Krieger and rebed with Marine-Tex compound!
 
Definately rebed!!! I always shave a touch off of the face of the action before rebarreling just to make sure it is square to the threads. This changes location and angle of recoil lug just a fuzz.
 
It's the 2nd. barrel after the original. I quit hunting and shooting for about 15 yrs. I started shooting again last summer. I got tired of driving 85 miles to where I liked to hunt. I prefer rural hilly areas for safety reasons and less competition. It's 40 miles to my rifle range. My hunting buddies started having lots of kids so I had to hunt by myself.

The first two barrels were 6mm Rem. now 6BR. I had over 5000 shoots threw the first two barrels with about .75 to 1" groups. This was good enough for my GH hunting out to 350 yds. I decided to quit hording my money and put a Krieger barrel and 6mmBR on the rifle. My next step should be to throw out the Rem stock and buy a custom fiber glass one. It's hard to hold the gun still if you are trying to shoot groups 1/2" or smaller. The rifle is intended for GH and I hope to nail a coyote that's dumb enough to walk across a hayfield in the afternoon.
