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
