shiloh custom bedding
What exactly is custom bedding as advertised in the Shiloh catalog and is it worth the extra money? The Shiloh's I have now shoot very accurately as is.

The inside other forearm is finished. I have ordered it on all of mine since they are for hunting and might get wet. It is only $50 so I would say it is worth it.
Real gun powder is black.

The forearm is fitted for 100% bbl contact with bedding compound that a type of epoxy substance.
You can remove the forearm for cleaning etc.

Re: shiloh custom bedding
So from the discussion it seems that the Custom Bedding is for more for water/weather proofing than improving accuracy?

Re: shiloh custom bedding
I would say more for retaining accuracy by reducing wood pressure changes from moisture swelling, rather than promoting accuracy. I believe relieving wood at the rear of the forearm a few thousandths has more effect, but bedding does eliminate one more factor involved.

These aren't free floating forend rifles. Like others have stated, cheap insurance if shooting in the elements.
