[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 626363, member: 22335"] Phil, As you have a Howa (same as my Vanguards) you absolutely, positively need space behind the rear of the action so that it does not, as you noticed, act as a recoil lug. In fact, when I bed them I place 2-3 layers of tape on the rear portion of the action to be sure I have space there. The most important hole is the front hole, especially since it is in your recoil lug. If/when you bed this, also be sure that you do not place tape under the recoil lug, only on the front and sides. I usually use blue masking tape instead of heat shrink, and get the most I can on a headless metric thread bolt as per JE's recommendation. This then centers the front bolt in the hole. I'll let the rear bolt take up the slack and be a bit off center front to back. If you can't line the bolts up easily then please call Bell & Carlson and have them send you a different stock. If they made a mistake, let them fix it. PM me your e-mail address and I can send you a couple of photos if you wish. [/QUOTE]
