Removing action from the stock.

[marksman]

always gorilla grip the front first
then just tighten the rear while holding the rifle upright with your hand wrapt lightly around the forearm and barrel feeling for movement
there should be none with good bedding
there should be no movement at the tang area as well

When people say you can't have telescopic or folding stocks because it makes rifles easier to conceal I don't think they realise in most cases only 2 bolts hold the barrelled action on the stock and it can be removed or installed in less than 1 minute.

The only folding stocked rifle I would consider would be the Barret MRAD or AI AT which allows you to change barrels and calibre very quickly, yes these rifles are expensive but you save on buying glass.

Fear and not rational thought drives our gun laws.

Thanks marksman...
I find putting the tikka's back together the hardest...they are (well mine are) very tight in the recoil lug area & the stock binds on the sides of the action...
No they are not bedded.

Its the only way I can fit all my rifles in my safe.
