Well Shoot!
I sanded what I though was the crap out of the channel last night and sealed it with Spar-urethane over the course of today. After the third coat was dry enough, I put it back together and tightened everything down and lo and behold, it was touching in the same place. Before tightening everything down, the channel would clear a folded dollar bill all the way down to the just in front of the bedded action. When sanding it last night, I would put the action/barrel in the stock every now and then to gauge how it doing with clearance betweenb the stock and the barrel. I never even though it tighten it down during this time. I pulled the gun apart and put the action in a gun case since it won't fit it my cabinet and left the stock on my reloading bench. I have to work over the next two days and needed some much needed chill time tonight. I'll sand the living **** out of it this weeked. I was hopping to put some first reloads out of it this weekend but, I guess that will have to wait.
Flip.
