I have only ever used glass bedding in my competition rifles, but it's not allowed for international compdtetion. Any advice on how to animal hide glue bed?

I'm going to move this to the builders section. I think though that you would want a keratin glue made from horns and hooves, rather than a hide glue which will not do as well with heat and moisture. I think the keratin glue would closer mimic the properties of epoxy, but more experienced minds, those of builders, will have better suggestions.

Open to all suggestions. Right now I have an unbedded original Springfield. Trying to eek out all the advantage I can with it.

I have a relic north Carolina rifle that has a round barrel channel and an octagon barrel. Bedding wasn't an issue back in the day.
This is for a competition rifle so even if it helped the group by a quarter of an inch it's worth it.

You mentioned "traditional", that is the only reason I responded.

Seems odd they would allow bedding, but not glass bedding.
Personally, I'd mix up some Tite Bond III and very fine sawdust.
That stuff gets so hard a cat couldn't scratch it.

Yeah, it's odd. So it's why I'm asking
