Snow-, that’s interesting. In the LGS, I could easily run a dollar bill between the barrel and forearm all the way to the action.

George,
What I meant was there was no gaps in the bedding material. On some rifles the builder puts a glob of material around the recoil lug and calls it good. The inside of the stock is a mirror finish of the barreled action but the barrel is free floated. The inside of the stock looks as good as the outside.
