A crack like that would definitely cause accuracy problems.i am wondering if this is what cause my accuracy problem?
went to try my rifle sunday with my new boyd's stock.
i was disapointed in the accuracy. this rifle ( savage 16) easily groups moa with the original plastic stock and this load
i was getting fliers that brought the groups to 2.5 to 3''
when i got back home i removed the stock and noticed the stock was cracked here
i am wondering if this is what cause my accuracy problem?
and if pillar bedding would repair the stock?
looks like i tightened the action screw to much. i'm used to rifles with pillar, when tightening this it always felt mushy

Way to much torque on the screws there pal. Pillars may help but that's a bad spot for a crack.
Cracks like that seem to be happening a lot lately.
I'd get me some Acraglass (original), glue the stock. Then I would install pillars using Acraglass (original), shouldnt have any more problems.
That's enough unsolicited advice for now.
Mine did the exact same thing... Dremelled out a lot more of the wood deep and all around and then inserted cut-down drywall screws cross-wise and some heavy duty staples from a cardboard box into the Acraglass. Has not been a problem since. Others here have reported the same problem. I'm not gonna gripe. It's an inexpensive stock and an easy fix.
Oh, BTW, my "fix" does require pillars, but I always do that, anyhow.
Also, as olddav said, go with Acraglass. I usually bed with Devcon 10110, but that kept cracking. It didn't hold 'till I used Acraglass on the stock and then topped it (finished the bedding) with Devcon 10110.
