RE: Glass bedding
You remove some of the wood around the receiver and replace it with a fiberglass/epoxy mixture which dries and conforms to the shape of the receiver. What you end up with is a more rigid stock that fits tightly around the receiver and minimizes changes in contact due to humidity and tem changes.
I bought an acraglass kit to fix a crack in an old stock, but now I' m considering bedding my .308.
