[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 5066028, member: 12277"] No matter what brand or type stock you buy it will never fit as perfectly as the one you already have if it's bedded to it. I'd glass bed it if it was mine and sand out the area that is touching the barrel. A wooden dowel a bit larger in diameter than the barrel with sandpaper wrapped around it will let you remove small amounts of wood and keep it looking good. Glass bedding isn't hard but it is slow. You also have to be darned sure you get the release agent on everything METAL that might touch the epoxy so it can be taken apart once the epoxy dries. Also if there are any holes of features that will let epoxy flow into them locking the action to the stock, those features have to be filled with something like modeling clay, again to make sure you don't fasten it together forever. It is best to do your 1st one on a gun that you aren't very fussy about. I'll admit that I was a bit nervous when I did my new out of the box Remington CDL stainless about 11 years ago. :) The quick release blue masking tape applied along the outside surfaces of the stock near where you are removing wood gives some protection from a slipped Dremel tool.
