Swampman, not trying to argue or get your goat but you can ask any custom gunsmith and they will confirm for you that remington tolerances are off by a surprisingly large amount. That my friend is piss poor QC to say the least. A well put together rifle is deserving of a beuitiful stock that complements what the rifle truly is. The new Remingtons quite frankly should all come with a plastic stalk. And for the record this isn't based on hear say it's based on barreled actions that have been taken apart and checked for trueness. You haven't done this so what you said is hearsay and BS.
