[QUOTE="kmilner65, post: 1702551, member: 82877"] First off, as a gunsmith I would be embarrassed to have sent that out the door. Local gunsmiths have a reputation to uphold, demand a refund and a new stock from him or destroy the reputation. The stock is ruined, it is no longer a safe stock. In a bedding job material is added to in order to obtain a better fit, not removed. The only exception is the forearm, on occasion you may have to slightly sand some to keep the barrel from touching. With a Tikka I really doubt anything would need to be removed. Most Tikka's bed only around the recoil lug, chamber, and rear screw hole very slightly. There should be very little fill bedding on that combination. [/QUOTE]
