Took my new BVSS 308 apart to float the tang (it was really tight to the wood)
I noticed that the rear pillar doesn't even make contact with the action. Instead, the action contacts the magazine retainer clip, and there's a very small gap between the clip and the pillar because the clip is sitting on wood, up off the pillar. This kind of ticks me off. What's the point of pillar bedding if you're going to stick a magazine clip on top of the pillar, and it doesn't even touch the pillar?? The front pillar shows nice even contact in two places.

So, should I remove the clip and a little wood to get the clip to rest squarely on the pillar, or just let it compress over time? (about 1/32") I set the rear action screw to 30 inch pounds.

I'm having an issue with groupings, as in 3 shots touching then 2 shots 1-1/2" - 2" out. This is consistent across all the loads I've been trying to develop.
Barrel is well floated all the way to, and including, the nut.
Haven't been able to get to range since floating it, so hopefully the float job on the tang alone will fix it??
