    Hmmm, I suspect the butt socket was added partly due to the lack of recoiling surface in the Lee design. The 1899 Lee in 30-40 had that area enhanced, too. Seems not a well thought out way just to get a one piece stock. Which helps shootability how?

    BTW, it wouldn't do to try and stabilize the entire action bottom on this set up as the rear locking lugs means the action front will squirm a few thouandths every shot. Getting that to work is making me little pea brain squirm!
