The Accurate Rifle - How to Glass Bed a Bolt Action Rifle

Glass bedding is a major component of the ultimate bedding package for rifle accuracy. Larry Potterfield, CEO and Founder of MidwayUSA, demonstrates glass bedding a rifle action while free floating the barrel. This ensures that any fluctuations in temperature or humidity will not change the rifle’s point of impact.

@rabbiteh it doesn't touch. Once you remove the bedding tape from the barrel you've got the thickness of that tape as an air space between the barrel and the new glass bed.

Whoa Whoa Whoa the ultimate INACCURACY 1:22

Actually a2birdcage he was asking wat the point was. The reason why is when the barrel gets hot from shooting, the wood expands and adds stress to the barrel causing it to be less accurate. Glass bedding prevents this

@rabbiteh Some rifles actions aren't physically strong enough to support a free-floated barrel. The 10/22 is an example of this. For these rifles bedding the barrel will help with accuracy. A true free-floating barrel is always better though .....if possible.
