The Ruger bolt guns are doozies to bed because of the angled screw. The sequence is the same as most rifles.. Float the barrel, bed the front ring/barrel reenforce then pore a pillar to support the rear action screw. If pressure on the barrel is desired it is added last. The trickly part is keeping the bedding from running away as the angled screw is bedded. I use a stockmakers handscrew to thread into the hole after the barreled action is in the stock(headless guide screw in the rear screw hole) to keep it all aligned. I pore the front first, then the rear pillar, saving the pressure point in the forearm for last(if used at all). Be sure to use tape to provide clearance on the front of the angled lug to ease removal of the barreled action from the stock. Oil based modeling clay is used to controll where the acraglass (gel) oozes.. Mask the finish as the bedding compound is poison on nearly every finish I have found.
