[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1083616, member: 2736"] The reason the barreled action should be half way in the stock (On the center line) is to get the maximum contact for the action and bedding. If it is more than Half way and it is bedded the bedding will lock the action in the stock because it will be below the centerline of the diameter. If a barrel Is below the center line of the stock I normally shim it with the pillars and use the bedding to fill the gap. And like Shortgrass said, it is the right way to set the barreled action in a stock. And besides all of the right reasons, It just looks better. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
