set the action down into the epoxy squeezing it out of the sides... then you let it cure and clean up all the excess.... this allows for the stock to 100 percent match all of the contours of the reciever, and takes all the stress out of the system as a whole... this allows for more consistant vibration and recoil and will produce a much more consistant/accurate gun...
the barrel is still free floated.... the bedding just takes the stress out of the reciever....
