Butt stock was bedded with steel-bed from Brownells between the receiver and front flats of the stock. These flats were drilled with an 1/8" drill to provide more adhesion area...and more strength. I used spacers made from old credit cards behind the top and bottom tangs which set back the stock and gave relief at the radiused areas of the tang...without relief it's likely to split. The steelbed makes an off color line at the junction of wood and metal which is not offensive to me. I chose the stock for it's staight grain...has no figure. Some #1 stocks are not suitable for heavy recoil. The barrel profile is the heaviest you can use with the factory hanger...anything heavier won't clear. This makes bedding in the factory 1B forend a touchy job. The forend is JUST wide enough to work. An A/H forend off a #1 .458 would liely be easier. Total time was little different from any similar job. Forend inletting was fiddly as previously mentioned as was the lathe boring of the Ruger .458 banded front sight.
