Same here.
I put 2 steel rods in the forearm, bedded it and pillar bedded the receiver. It helped a little but not enough. When I was done I could not believe it, but the stock could still flex and contact the barrel. Even though the forearm didn't flex, the stock flexed near the recoil lug and down the sides of the action, allowing the forearm to touch the barrel further up the stock. No way to extend the rods past the lug, so it was still too weak. Ended up with a Boyds a couple weeks later. Not sorry I tried, just didn't get what I expected out of it. Lots of people told me so, too. :)
On the other hand, if you never want to use a bipod, it might be good enough for hunting.
