Send me a pic of that shank. Or if you have a factory sporter around, you can mike at, say, 1/4-inch intervals and get a better idea. Also, if it's not a huge gap, bedding compound can take care of it when you bed the action, depending on the stock color you choose, and the color of the compound. Obviously, black, gray (even brown) are easier to match.
Keep in mind, the $569 for the EDGE is about $100 off retail, so it's that, plus the wait time, versus the custom order, which we can handle as well.
If it's a big gap, then I suggest you order. The last thing you want to do is shortcut a custom project. Otherwise, the bedding process can take care of minimal gappage.
