Hey gents, I recently performed a deep cleaning on my CZ 550 in .416 Rigby, which included removing the action from the stock. I was able to get it out and put it back without any issues, but for some reason there is a decent sized gap between the rear of the receiver and the stock, it's not huge, but it is larger than before I removed the action from the stock. I have taken the stock out of the action several times, and put it back, but the action sits in exactly the same place, with the gap at the rear. I have never encountered this before with any rifle, and I am just curious if I am doing something wrong, or if leaving the gap will harm anything. Thanks so much for your input. | ||

If you haven't already, try this: before you do a final tightening of the action screw, bounce the recoil pad on the floor two or three times - that will usually seat the action fully to the rear of the recoil lug mortise. | |||

Well that can't be good. If there is that much lateral slop between the action and the stock the it's way past bed time. Time to bed it. _______________________________________________________________________________ This is my rifle, there are many like it but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend, it is my life. | |||
