CM, it is a custom stock and the problem is that there was no tang relief gap left when it was stocked, so the tang acts like a wedge. I made a gap by removing some wood with a abrasive drum of the correct diameter in my Dremel. The bearing surfaces each side of the stock bolt hole need glassing as they have been somewhat hammered by the action. I wonder if it was shot while loose at one time. One cheek is bearing, the other is not.
It's a lovely piece of wood,but the stocker did not do the greatest job
Not quite the same deal as bedding a rifle. Thank God for Acraglass Gel!
