EarlyBronco Report post Posted Thursday at 03:36 AM Hello wondering if bedding a cheap stock will help accuracy? I have a savage 12 fv that shot really well before I took it all the way apart to clean and can’t get it to shoot as tight of groups after putting it back together, wondering if bedding it will help?

CouesPursuit Report post Posted Thursday at 12:34 PM Action screw torque is crucial in tupperware stocks. https://www.accurateshooter.com/technical-articles/savage-action-screw-torque-tuning/ I have only bedded one polymer 10 stock and it did help, but it was relatively stout to begin with. If yours is one of the really flimsy stocks, with the bedding effort involved, I'd consider an upgrade. That said, bedding can't hurt and could make good practice for a future bedding job on a better stock. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything over about 30 in/lbs will start smushing plastic is what I have found. Savage had some really soft stocks for a while. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STOMP442 Report post Posted Thursday at 02:17 PM Could be that it just needs fouled back in after cleaning. Also ensure that your rear tang is free floated after putting it back together. Anything behind the rear action screw shouldn't touch for best results on a Savage. Like said before, bedding never hurts but those Savage tuperware stocks are notoriously bad.

EarlyBronco Report post Posted Friday at 12:43 AM I have floated the tang I’ve shot it about 30 times and it’s shooting better but it was shooting really well before I took it apart I started at 15 inch pounds and went up in 5 pound increments shooting 3 shot groups and 30 is what it shoots the best at but it’s still not shooting like before 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
