Hello all, i'm counting on someone with maybe better eyes, or just someone with more experience/knowledge than I.

I bought a stevens 200 Long action, I knew at time of purchase the left side of the stock all the way at the very front, was contacting the barrel. so I removed the stock, trimmed the stock at point of contact, reassembled and all was good until I added a 1-peice base/rings/scope. I have a hard time believing that the added weight is causing the barrel to contact the stock. but o well.
anyways here are some pictures

I shaved the parts of the stock down where you can see the contact marks from the action, closest to the magazine.


those are two after pics.

just to see the reflective area of the contact on the pillar

where and how much i shaved at the front of the stock

overall view, how off it is.

when tightening the front action bolt; in the last 1/2 turn before it starts to tighten up the barrel moves toward the stock at the contact point.
So i'm looking for a contact point on the right (bolt) side of the stock, causing the counter clockwise tilt, correct??


ideas, insight, thoughts? more pictures of the stock or action?

Thank you for your time and advise.
Matt
