[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1093382, member: 48043"] yep.... under the sling swivel area is a good point to put something non compressible in that won't take oil or water... I at one time used a few layers of felt, but there are better things out there as felt can accept oil if there is a lot present. think plastics... I glass bedded my lh stw's stock from the front action screw (after I pillar bedded the action) through the recoil lug area, all the way to the foux ebony tip... The rifle shot well this way (1/2 moa) but poorly as a floated barrel... I would still be shooting it but after a go through and re-headspacing by a local 'smith ( it ate brass quickly and stw brass is no longer cheap or available), he refused to re-assemble the rifle as the last 'smith did a very poor job of threading the barrel and it was rather loose fitting to the receiver until tightened up...
