My understanding is that due to the placement of the rear action screw (much farther froward than other comparable bolt rifles), then you tighten the action screw, if the rifle is not bedded, and the tang contacts the rifle, you can "spring" the action. The action is under stress and is bending. Most other bolt rifles have the rear action screw attached at the tang. What I am not able to visualize is if you do a pillar bedding job on the action (a portion of the rear pillar will need to be milled, or dremeled, to create a slot for the trigger and sear on Savage rifles), and you've properly bedded the rifle, and the bedding is neutral, not pushing or pulling on the action anywhere, the tang can be bedded and it will sit in it's bedding material. If the tang and the rest of the rifle was bedded with the action screws used to pull the rifle into the bedding, then the tang will not suffer any upward pressure from the stock when the action screws are tightened, pulling the received down on the pillars and the rest of the rifle into the cured bedded areas.
