[QUOTE="Dosh, post: 1078754, member: 70363"] Miller, I'm guessing the stock can't be sent back since they'll say it was altered, as Black67 suggested Dremel the lug area opening and about 2" in front of it. The tape around the barrel at the front of the stock will center the barrel in the channel. Not too much tape, just enough so the tape touches both sides of the channel. Check the full length of the inletting for fit. The tang area may need some relief, be very careful. Use candle soot on the action to check. The consensus is not to bed the tang on a Savage, but there are spots forward which you can bed. Check vertical alignment of the action and stock. A caution when epoxy bedding the lug area on Savages is the barrel nut splines need to be filled with modeling clay so the action isn't mechanically bonded to the stock. Work slowly, remove small amounts, don't hurry. There are lots of how-to videos on bedding, here and You Tube. Good luck [/QUOTE]
