[QUOTE="Gus McCrae, post: 909176, member: 66278"] I recently bought a Boyds Prairie Hunter stock for my Model 70 Featherweight. I thought the fit was a tad sloppy so I've just started the process of bedding the action. I've done a pile of research online so I've got a good handle on the process, but I can't find an answer to my specific questions. Do I need to relieve the area where the tang rests on the stock (just behind the rear action screw)? Should I take a 1/3 to 1/2 of this area down to accept some bedding but leave enough for the action to rest on?

I have a pillar kit on the way so I'm doing that at the same time too. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
