[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 771558, member: 10291"] My experience with the plastic savage stocks is that the tight areas are a small section at the tip or along the barrel channel. It's more of a stock irregularity issue and can be cleaned up with some sandpaper very easily. Shimming works better when the issue is an action alignment issue with the stock bedding. In that case, I would agree with you and keep it metal on metal, but also do some glass bedding for additional support. If it was a cheap Tupperware stock, I would consider replacing it before going through all that. I would try opening it up with sandpaper first and see what happens. This all assumes your load is optimized. [/QUOTE]
