I'm going to be bedding a Medalist stock soon and I plan to cut the bedding block back so I'll end up with 100% contact with the recoil lug on the back side. My action screw holes don't line up very accurately either. The action needs to be moved about a 1/16" to the rear to center the stock holes with the action, which is another reason I'm going to remove some of the lug. I'm going to use countersunk head screws to center the action with the screw holes.
Another thing I discovered when I installed a one piece scope mount is that the top of the action tapers off at the front and the rear. So I epoxy bedded the mount to the top of the action using only the center two screws to snug it down until the epoxy cured.
