    I appreciate your desire to get the most out of your rifle. Bedding firearm is to avoid the uncontrolled vibrations, shifting and harmonics during firing. A .22 rimfire has a really mild recoil and does not have a lot of shifting around in the stock. Unless there is a lot of damage to the contact areas of the stock, you may not get any benefit.

    On the other hand, if you are building a custom rifle and fitting a Winchester action to a stock made for a Remington 40X, bedding to make it fit is needed. Been there, done that.

    I have used the Brownell's kits, automotive bondo, and devcon filler with good results. Whatever you use, it is very important to make a thin barrier where the metal touches bedding material so that you can take it back apart. I have used a thick coat of paste wax (left to dry hazy, not polished off) as well as the Brownell's release compound with equal results. Good Luck

    I think even midway and/or brownells have videos on bedding on their website. Plus you can buy DVDs that deal with bedding rifles
