So I just finished (or about to finish) my first and probably last bed job.
All in all in turned out...ok. I used the score high kit with pillars. My question is, how much of the front of the lug/barrel can or should be bedded? I was going for 1/16-1/8" but it turned into more like 1/2  Can I just sand it down so it's lower than the reciever portion? |

You talking in front of the lug under chamber? Some go out 1-1.5”. Won’t hurt anything.

Some people don’t bed in front of lug but some do with longer heavier barrel. Usually just under the chamber area and it doesn’t hurt accuracy at all. I have them both ways.

Shoot it and see !
Edit to add use some vinyl tape around the shank in front of the lug . We sell some two inch wide red sheathing tape bedding won't stick to and two wraps are enough clearance . |

Depends on the barrel diameter and lug thickness.
2 - 2 1/2 inches would be OK for a Remington 5 1/2 Varmint taper or Sendero with a Tubb lug.  Attached File |

Wish I had researched more on what tape to use. It got in under the tape and locked it in place. I sanded and filed some to get a lot of it off, but it's still there. Oh well. If it shoots good I'll probably just spray it/camo it. |

Sounds like I might actually be glad it oozed under the barrel. |
