[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 2243632, member: 109994"] For anyone curious, I stuck my action into a couple of stocks I have and measured from the bottom inlet surface to the action. Front is 0.875" Back is 1.308" Since the action bosses (if that's what they're called?) are round, the pillar lengths should actually be a touch longer due to where they'll contact the bosses. My barrel is a slightly heavier contour than the factory lite, so I went with that measurement so my action will sit a little lower in the stock. The mag will still load just fine with the states measurements. Another note, is that since the Tikka stock is pretty slim and the bottom is not parallel to the top, I ground the front (muzzle side) of the bottom of the pillars about 0.010 shorter and that gave me full contact with the bottom metal.
