I have never tried to bed a rifle, but am going to this summer to a few. I was under the impression (perhaps incorrectly) that the back of the tang shouldn't be touching the stock. I'm refering to the veritcal part. Is that not the case? I have heard that it contributes to cracked handles, but it appears as if the back of your tang does indeed make contact with the stock.
Any clarification by anyone ... would be greatly welcomed!
