I just recieved a HS Precision stock that will replace the factory tupperware stock on my remington 700 BDL SS. When I bolted the action to the stock the I noticed that the barrel does not line up with the stocks barrel channel. I called HS Precision and they told me to make sure that none of the stocks finish was on the aluminim bedding block. If it was they told me to gently scrape the finish off of the aluminum bedding block as this may be the cause of the barrel not lining up with the barrel channel.Once I did this I again assembled the gun and the two still did not match up. There is twice as much gap on the right side than it is on the left side. What can be done to correct this problem? is it a problem with the bedding block or do i just simply need to sand the barrell channel on one side. I hope I can fix it myself without sending it back to the factory.

Sound like BS to me. As soon as you alter that stock your Limited Warranty has become invalid.

My friend and I had the same problem with an H-S stock on a Weatherby Mark V. H-S never did do anything about it despite repeated calls and a local smith wound up re-milling the bedding block so that it would sit level. I will not by an H-S stock over a MacMillan, aluminum bedding block or no.

As a cross check take a differant Rem 700 and place it in the stock to see if there is any differance.

Some Rem 700 actions have warpage, although I doubt it is that bad, better check just the same.

If it is still off on one side I would call HS Precision for a return authorization number. Let them correct the problem.
