Default Bed new 30-06 rifle?

I brought home a new Model 70 Winchester Sporter today in 30-06. It comes from the factory free-floated and epoxy bedded in the recoil lug and tang area. Question; should I have the action area bedded and aluminum pillars installed before I test fire it and begin load development? What say you? Thanks...

I would definitly try a couple of differents loads out of it before doing anything to it. Unless you are shooting competition with it, it probably isn't going to make that much difference anyway.

It's a "sporter" rifle; so go out to the range and shoot some clover leafs.

Then take it out in the woods, and kill something............LOL


Congratulations !!!


What are you putting on it ?
