Very important to check this !
Almost every stock or chassis I have has need to be clearenced when bedding.
If you place a peice of paper inbetween your bolt and stock (on closing) you will see if it's being restricted from being fully engaged into battery.
Customer sent his action in for a few barrels to be fitted, I cleaned it up and immediately noticed the lug pattern on the receiver abutments is definitely not perpendicular to the raceway.
In other words the bolt is not fully in battery, most likely the handle cut on the stock is not deep enough preventing full lock up.
I’ve seen this many times and once corrected they usually reply… dang this thing now shoots awesome.
