Not to worry - better late than never. I'll store that tip away for next time, cheers. I'm not sure if you are familiar with the whole sad saga but I do think the tang of the action might contact the stock just where it split away. I might relieve the wood slightly around there, to give it a mil clearance, which it seems to have around the rest of the tang. It doesn't sit particularly neutrally in the stock - there are a couple of different ways it can settle when tightening the action screws. But on the other hand it shoots pretty well so I'm not hugely keen to mess with it more than necessary. Plus I've never bedded a stock before. sounds like Tru Oil and wet sanding might be the go, and just take if from there.
