Synthetic stock - glass bedding needed?

[Back40]

Should I have a McMillan synthetic stock glass bedded? I'll be ordering this for a Sako 75 Hunter .270.

Yes, and have the barrel free floated at the same time.  They will use pillar bedding so you have metal to metal contact between the receiver and the stock and your barrel is not touching any part of the stock so after every shot the rifle comes right back to the same position for better accuracy shot after shot.

Are you having Mcmillan do the glassbedding? To buy their stock and have them bed it, not only takes months but costs around $600.

You could buy the stock and havesomeone else bed it. I know mcmillan also aluminum pillar beds as well which is a plus.

McMillan is one of the best, if not THE best, TRUE synthetic stock builder - so good choice.  

That said, I have a McMillan stock on my .375H&H.  The action was glass bedded, the barrel was free floated, and the gunsmith also installed aluminum pillars to pillar bed it.

Let just say that the accuracy of my .375H&H would surprise even the most experienced of varmint hunters!! :grin:
