New Stock - Bedding vs. Floating

[Bart B.]

It has to be inletted then glued into the stock else it'll not be in the same place for each shot.

Ain't the purpose of bedding to make the barreled action be in the exact same place with the same tension to the stock for every shot?

I like the bedding block in my HS Precision (Sendero) stock on my Rem 700 BDL, but put a skim-coat of epoxy on it to make a perfect fit. The rifle shoots really well. There's extra space on each side of the sporter barrel, but I haven't wanted to fill it in. The barrel cools faster this way.
