[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 815314, member: 22335"] Remove your action screws and then the floorplate assembly and magazine well. Look through the magazine area at the bottom of the action at the front edge of the magazine hole. How much room do you now see between the bottom of the action and the action itself? Does the action essentially rest right on the aluminum support or is there a big gap? If the action seems to fit tightly on the bottom then I'd just reassemble, torque rear and then front screws to 55 in-lb and shoot it. If it shoots well then leave it alone. If not, then not only would I remove the pressure points but I would also bed the action into your new stock for the best accuracy and repeatability. Let us know what you find. I've done it both ways. Oh, don't be surprised if you have to shave the stock a little bit to get the safety to work well. [/QUOTE]
