I have a Savage 110E that that I bought this for:
787-11117 Hogue Savage Full Length Bed Block Stock
Barrel Diameter: Varmint
Choose Color: Black
Choose Frame Size: LA- Long Action
Choose Style: Top Loading
From the photos it might not be easy to see, but the rear action pillar has 3 raised points for contact that do not contact the action due to what I assume to be extra stock material.
The 3 raised points are circled in pencil, areas where I think there is too much material are circled in red. The rear tang makes full contact before the pillar makes contact. I verified this with modeling clay. The gun shoots horribly, vertical stringing, wild left, spread is 4"-6". Before the change it was a decent shooter.
I know the rear tang needs to float, and it seems reasonable that metal to metal contact on the pillar is what I need to have. Would I need to basically rebuild the pillar, or would bedding material suffice if it is not possible to remove enough material to allow it to settle on the pillar?
What are your thoughts on how to fix this? I sent Hogue some photos and they are supposed to get back to me, I'm not sure if a new stock is needed or if it is expected to have to tweak these after-market stocks. Before I remove any material I plan to talk to them.

https://ibb.co/bzmQsSk https://ibb.co/87001Lshttps://ibb.co/bzmQsSkThank you for your time and expertise, I am not a complete greenhorn when it comes to minor gun mods, but sometimes I wonder if I know just enough to make me dangerous, so please feel free to offer advice. I am a died in the wool DIYer, and this gun has special meaning for me so I plan to do what is necessary to make it at least slightly better than the average deer and elk rifle at ranges that a person of my age should reasonably be shooting game at, say up to about 300 yards. Not trying to make a 1,000 yard rifle here.
