Precision Fit for Improved Accuracy and Consistency
Action Bedding
Action bedding is one of the most effective upgrades you can make to improve the accuracy and performance of a precision rifle.
A Custom-Fit Bedding Surface
This process creates a custom-fit epoxy bedding surface between the rifle’s action and stock, eliminating unwanted movement and ensuring the action is perfectly supported every time it is assembled.
Over time, factory stocks can contain slight imperfections, pressure points, or inconsistencies that prevent the action from seating evenly. Action bedding corrects these issues by creating a precise, stable interface that distributes stress uniformly across the action. The result is improved shot-to-shot consistency, better accuracy potential, and enhanced reliability in the field or at the range.

Our Bedding Process
At Salty Dog Gunsmithing, we carefully prepare the action and stock before applying a high-strength bedding compound. The action is then precisely positioned to create a perfect custom fit. Once cured, the bedding surface is finished and inspected to ensure optimal contact, stability, and function.
Every bedding job is performed with attention to detail and tailored to the specific rifle platform, whether it’s a hunting rifle, long-range precision rifle, competition firearm, or custom build.
Precision at Every Stage
Each bedding job is prepared, positioned, cured, finished, and inspected for optimal contact, stability, and function.
1. Inspect
Evaluate the action, stock, hardware, existing contact points, and current fit.
2. Prepare
Prepare bedding surfaces, protect the firearm, and establish the required clearances.
3. Bed & Fit
Apply the bedding system and position the action for a precise, custom-fit interface.
4. Finish & Review
Remove excess material, complete final fitting, and inspect assembly and function.
