Whether it will be recessed or not is determined by the exterior size/shape of the stock it's going into. Some are thicker in the belly section, some are thinner. The bottom metal has to be a fixed distance from the bottom of the action, thus why the depth will vary from stock to stock. I'm not aware of anyone who's had an Accustock inlet to accept the CDI bottom metal - or even if it would be possible to do, so your best bet would be to just call CDI directly and ask them as they'd be the ones to know.
