rtaylor Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I bedded my .243 in last week and got it all back together before the weekend, a fairly nerve racking experience but well worth doing. I put the first few rounds through it today and it's now shooting around 1/2 - 3/4". I only started at about 75 yards so I still need to work back and get the zero exactly right but I am very pleased with the groups it is producing. If anyone is thinking of bedding in their rifle, I would say defiantly go for it. It was grouping somewhere around 2 - 1 1/2" before. Picture: shooting from left to right. Four rounds in the first group, then three in the next two groups. They are 1" circles at about 75 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad1 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Looks good how did you do it ? What did you use ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtaylor Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I got some pillars of fister. I think they were Brownells for the remmy 700, I had to file these down to fit. And for the epoxy I used Devcon steel putty from Cromwells, although afterwards I did find another site which I think was a touch cheeper. I'll try and put up a full write up with pictures later.

bicykillgaz Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 If any one wants some pillars I've got a set sat doing nothing, brownalls for a rem700 still in the packet £15 posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad1 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Where would I get some from for a cz527 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtaylor Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Where would I get some from for a cz527 ? Have a look on Midwayuk. I had to cut mine down with a hacksaw and then file them to the right profile. The trigger guard was at a slight diagonal to the receiver. I would measure between the face of the receiver and the face of the trigger guard and then get oversized pillars and cut them to fit. Also I slightly cut the rear pillar too short but as it evens out with the epoxy it wasn't the end of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
