If the stock is wood, nothing you do will look right.

If the stock is synthetic, you can simply bed the barreled action to the stock when it comes to this point. You may very well have to repaint the stock. Use a good quality bedding material. My preference is either marine-tex or devcon. Acra-glass and acra-gel work also, but I find the first two easier to work with.
