After listening to your advice (bed receiver, barrel, or ?), I'm proceeding with traditional bedding the receiver. The Devcon plastic steel putty is on it's way and I've got a couple more questions.
1st There's a large pocket in the stock for a box magazine. Since this is a single shot Savage Model 12, there's no mag. Should I fill the 3" x 1.3" x over an inch deep pocket at the same time as the rest of the bedding? That way it would all be one solid mass. The Devcon supposedly shrinks very little.
2nd Is the reason for taping the sides, bottom, and front of the recoil lug to provide clearance for dis-assembly and re-assembly? Or is it to provide clearance for movement during firing recoil? The sides of the Savage lug are tapered a lot, so assembly clearance will be there even if it's not taped.
Thanks again for your advice.
