I have bedded a bunch of 700s. For a first timer it will probably take a few hours to do the prep work and bed the rifle. Probably the hardest part is waiting for the bedding to set up before you can take it apart to see how it looks. If you decide to DIY I would be glad to answer any questions. Just send a PM if you need any help that I can provide. Which bedding kit did you buy?
