Welcome to Savage Shooters!! Hopefully some of use nutcases here can help you out..
As for the DBM, I wasn't aware that Boyd's made any manner of DBM's for the Axis Stocks, so yes I think they are being truthful. Since that is the case, don't hesitate to go with CDI, here is Axis .308 I own in a Boyd's Pro Varmint with the CDI Bottom Metal and a 10 round mag.

Sometimes those **** screws just aren't the right size, but that's ok. I don't think that means the action is not seating correctly and if it was terribly off you should be able to see it, the trigger might not work, or the bolt release might not function. Just take the one that is to long, put it in your power drill and take some sandpaper to it till you can knock enough off till it will insert correctly. Seat your action and make sure you barrel is centered in the stock. Then tighten the action screws down to 35 in/lbs, no more than that or you may crack the inside of your stock. This is good starting point, once that is figured out you can move to free floating the barrel/tang, adding pillars, and bedding the action and all that good stuff.
