Sorry about the photo quality - it�s dark in the garage right now. In the photo with the recoil area you can see where the PO hogged out the barrel base area - trying to float everything back to the action I guess. I think putting a little support in the area next to where the barrel threads to the action is better. The PO had �balanced� the action at three places with 3 little nails, two is the recoil area and one back at the tang with a little epoxy at those locations. Kind of crazy and the action was not even setting straight. Now I have a full bed of support that runs around the magazine to the back of the tang area and everything snaps into place tight and straight, with a blob of support at the 30-06 stamp under the barrel. Only real hitch was the bolt release hit some bedding material that needed to be removed. Otherwise seems really solid and I can�t wait to see how it does at the range.
