Messed with it more tonight. I'm almost ready to mix up the bedding compound and spread it in but still not happy with the trigger area. First I pulled the trigger and filled that in. When I put the barreled action in it seemed like there was a heck of a lot of space that wasn't filled that maybe should be. Pulled all the clay, reinstalled the trigger and taped and packed it with clay. Once I flipped that over it seemed like there's no way I was going to be able to bed around that without locking it in due to all the curves in the trigger assembly. Do I pick one and just figure I'm going to have to take a deemed to it when it's all done?
To provide some extra info, I picked up a used Knight synthetic thumbhole stock. It was supposed to be bed for a mountaineer and the guy swore up and down that he used that stock for 2 different mountaineers and a disc extreme and all shot great out of it. I was skeptical but the price was right so I figured why not. Turns out I could get my mountaineer to sit in it right for nothing. I ended up grinding all the bedding material out of it and figured I could re-bed the stock to my mountaineer. So that's what I'm working with if that helps anyone.
