Important still to shoot it. It might be perfect as is.

I did ask about that some time back without an answer...post 11.

I understand that, but I want the gun set up by the book. I don't want any chance of the wood warping due to my fitting.

When the wood was set up horribly, the gun shot 2MOA with undeveloped handloads, quite remarkable. If I wanted the most accurate I would have left it as is, but as stated before, I want the gun set up by the book.

That's not what causes warping or twisting. Although Ontario's humid summers can be almost unbearable, they aren't sufficient to cause warping. Not like some of the member's here have experienced in their home areas.

Doesn't sound like it was set up so badly...
