[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 27815, member: 8947"] Jay, this confirms again that you need to bed that action for one stock. Probably something is not square but no matter. Remove the exisiting bedding or make the factory inletting bigger. You want a little slop when you bed. Have shims available so that you can center the action in the stock when the bedding is curing. When the new bedding has hardened, you will have a custom fit for that action/stock and your problems will go away. Probably improve accuracy too as you are not stressing the action anymore. As Celt said, do check to ensure that the bedding does not stress or bend your action. Happens more often then gunsmiths want to admit. Happens most often in wood stocks bedded during the winter or high humidity conditions. Jerry [/QUOTE]
