[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 511505, member: 2736"] It is not unusual for the inserts to be installed wrong on any stock with the bedding block. I have had several different brand of stocks where this was a problem. And just like a wood stock sometimes you have to make adjustments with the bedding. The action and barrel "Must" be fitted to the stock before the bedding can be done. eather by removing material or shimming some areas (Or both). Once this is done it will bed properly. Just because a stock has a bedding block/ insert does not meen it will fit properly and does not need bedding. I bed every action and make sure that the pillars are in full contact with the action and the floor metal . Actually the insert is a good foundation for bedding if it is clean and free of oil. I have even seen inserts that were warped and the action would rock front to back and had to drill out the rear pillar and install a new one that leveled the action and barrel before bedding. There are a lot of little tricks to doing a good bedding job but they can be learned and preparation prior to bedding is one of the most important things. It does sound like a quality control problem but not one that cant be fixed. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
