First time poster to savageshooters. This site has a been a great resource for learning about Savage rifles, thanks to you all.

I'm bedding a new 12fv to a Boyd's Pro Varmint stock using the method described on 6mmbr (http://www.6mmbr.com/pillarbedding.html). I think I have most of the details worked out, but I haven't figured out what I should do with the "silver tab" that holds the blind mag in place. My first thought was to bed the pillar against the action, let it cure, then dremel the devcon down between the pillar and the mag well and widen the U shape cutout in the silver tab to fit around/up to the pillar.

If there is a "standard method" for dealing with this tab I would greatly appreciate hearing about it. (I know countless people have probably posted about this question already, but my searches didn't lead to a clear answer, sorry)
