[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1176555, member: 50867"] In my opinion, fitting a thick tang to any rifle stock, Rem. 70 included, involves first relieving the center of the action cavity to accommodate main parts of the action assembly (including trigger mechanism) so that the action rests flat and evenly over the inletted portion of the stock. If the cavity for the tang is deeper than it should be it obviously needs to be built up. If it's not deep enough, it needs to have more material removed (a little at a time) so that it fits into place. If I found problems involving a stock where the primary portion of the action rests as it should to accommodate proper bedding but the tang stands proud of the stock it's a matter of piecing in that portion of the stock and reshaping it to allow for proper fitting of the piece.
