Savage Buckeye

Hello...just joined the forum and just (today) bought my first Savage. It's a used (but like new) Mark II BTVSS. I am taking it to the range tomorrow to shoot it for the fist time, but I did want to seek some information/advise concerning the
stock to barrel fit. There is just a very slight amount of play between the muzzle end of the forend and and the barrel.
When I put my hand under the forend and my thumb on top of the barrel I can push down with my thumb and it moves down into the stock just enough to notice. When I remove my thumb is returns back up. This "play" in the stock is only noticeable down near the muzzle end. There is absolutely no movement when I move 4" or so down the barrel closer to the action.
Is this "play" normal on the muzzle end or shot it be totally tight?
