The military Mauser action with the thumb cut for stripper clip charging isn't very rigid and doesn't hold up well to great clamping forces and cantilever barrels. Paul Mauser's design uses a pillar bedding system around the front and rear action screws. He also designed the stepped military barrel with fore/aft clearance in the stock, but the fore end supported the barrel between the forward and rear rings. I recommend you work with those accuracy enhancing features, not against them.
