I have been considering the same thing as I wanted to make the actual rear pillar contact the action. I havent try it yet but was going to cut down the potrion of the Tang that goes between the pillar and the action, so that it sits in front of the pillar then build a pad of bedding under it and adjust this until the action holds in in place when screwd down. I am going to shoot with a single shot follower and pillar bed it without the tang in until i find a good way to do this. Keep us posted on yours.
