This is a common problem with the accustock. When you draw down the action in the accu-stock the aluminum u channel spreads apart, and the action drops lower in the stock, when the recoil lug bottoms out the the action is not sitting on its bedding surface it creates stress. (This is 1 of the main reasons I dont like the accu-stock, beside the other problems with it.)Originally Posted by thomae
The most important thing is that the action sits properly in the bedding surface, if the recoil lug is preventing this than something needs done. Out of the choices you have listed only one is appropriate fix. and that is C. You could file down the lug, but it would be hard to keep things straight, and the lugs are hard, and it would take some work to cut it down. You should never put a shim under the action, the action needs a good bedding surface to ensure the best accuracy. Savage's, for the most part, are very forgiving on bedding. C would alow the action to sit in the bedding surface, without any stress. The best way to tell is to place modeling clay under the lug, and mark the action with black shoe polish, to make sure that the action is sitting stress free in the bedding surface.
