went to try my rifle sunday with my new boyd's stock.
i was disapointed in the accuracy. this rifle ( savage 16) easily groups moa with the original plastic stock and this load
i was getting fliers that brought the groups to 2.5 to 3''

when i got back home i removed the stock and noticed the stock was cracked here





i am wondering if this is what cause my accuracy problem?
and if pillar bedding would repair the stock?

looks like i tightened the action screw to much. i'm used to rifles with pillar, when tightening this it always felt mushy
