Thanks Keith, I should have posted a picture. You can see where the wood will contact the action, and it looks like to me that most of the recoil has to go to the block and the tangs that hold it. The Winchester stock is not as thick as the original at the front where it fits into the action.

I am thinking that it shouldn't matter if I bed it well. But since I have never done such a thing, I thought I should ask people who know.
