Pendleton's customer service is shaping up to be really good.
They got back to me and said it's probably due to a bad bedding job around the tang and the stock is guaranteed for life, but if I prefer a refund they'll process it upon receiving the stock.

Well my particular stock had NO bedding anywhere besides right around the recoil lug.
Best of luck man.

That was not caused by a "bad bedding job around the tang".. that was caused by a poor bedding job period. The action was not properly bedded, which caused the barreled action to move under recoil, which consequently caused the tang to come in contact with the stock. This is what caused the damage.
There's more to just throwing bedding under an action...
I agree with Joel. Like I mentioned my gun literally had 1" of bedding near the recoil lug and that's it. No bedding anywhere else. So under recoil from pressure and movement different parts come in contact and touches causing things to shift and could cause possible damage.. When I emailed Wayne why the bedding was half assed he replied that's how it should be and that's to save weight.
I've never had a gun bedded like that. Everyone of my guns shoot 1/4" MOA and they are all bedded with devcon from the recoil lug all the way thru the action back to the tang evenly. Just my 2 cents.
I will never use Pendleton stocks again.
There fit and finish work SUCKS

"There's more to just throwing some bedding under an action..." That's the truth. Even Mc recommends a good bedding job under all heavy/sharp recoiling rifles. That break at the wrist is a "classic". I've seen it a bunch of times, more than once where it came into 2 pieces,,,,,, all because of poor or improper bedding. More and more people seem to want "drop-in" and that doesn't exist in the true custom firearm. Each action should be bedded as an individual. Having it bedded ahead of time to the "shop action" just doesn't make a lot of sense. Just look at those stocks with aluminum bedding blocks, even those need to be 'skim bedded' to insure proper contact with the recoil lug and to 'make-up' for the not so perfect block.

That crack/chip is either a poorly designed stock, bad stock materials, or the action shifted in the stock, indicating a not so solid bedding job. Could one, or any combination of these three issues.

Could even have been loose action screws with a great bedding job.

If you have a proper bedding job, the action screws would have to be extremely loose to allow enough action shift, in most action types, to damage the stock, even though it would only require a very tiny shift to do so.

If the rear guard screw is touching the back of the hole for it, in the stock, it will act like wedge and work like one, too. Makes the case for aluminum pillars with sufficient clearance for the screws and the recoil lug properly supported with the bedding.
