What does the "glue and screw" technique for bedding result in?

The "glue and screw" technique for bedding refers to a method used in firearms to enhance accuracy by stabilizing the action within the stock. This technique involves using both adhesive (the glue) and mechanical fasteners (the screws) to secure the action firmly to the bedding surface of the stock.

The benefit of employing this method is that it creates a rigid mount bedding, which minimizes movement and vibration between the action and the stock. This rigidity ensures that the rifle maintains a consistent firing position, leading to improved accuracy. By effectively transferring the recoil forces through a stable connection, the dynamics of the firearm during a shot are more predictable, aiding in repeatable precision.

In contrast, flexible mount bedding allows for movement that can negatively impact accuracy, while free float bedding creates a situation where the barrel does not contact the stock, which is not the goal of the "glue and screw" technique. Thus, the approach ultimately results in a heightened potential for accuracy by ensuring the action is securely and rigidly mounted.
