Bedding the T

[tbonesmith]

the bedding is higher than the block should I get my gunsmith to level this off.

all that means is that there is no bearing on the aluminium, the epoxy wouldn't stick anyway. If you relieved any of the bedding material all that would mean is clearance where you remove material. That bedding material that supports the bottom of the action is a flat plane, and that, along with the knox support and rest of the compond, dictates the pressure at the muzzle, you can't "adjust it" here and there, it orients the action and supports it in one position, and one alone. As I said to remove material here and there either does nothing but create additional clearances, or possibly destabilises the whole setup and stuffs it for functionality.
