[QUOTE="DLJ6, post: 3070124, member: 90223"] I recently took delivery on a new composite stocked factory rifle and upon unboxing immediately noted that the action and barrel were not centered in the stock. The barrel has full contact on the left side with the stock barrel channel. I removed the action from the stock noting that the rear screw was not tight. The front aluminum pillar is recessed below the stock material and it is evident that the action is not contacting the pillar. I read the included manual to determine the torque spec. and emailed the company's customer service for confirmation. Customer service was quick to respond with the spec. of 35 in/lbs but the manual clearly states 55 in/lbs. They didn't not address the off set bedding issue. I would prefer not to return the rifle but will void the warranty if I alter the bedding. I have responded to the email with more details. Is it possible and advisable to add a shim to the top of the pillar? Thanks in advance for any responses. [/QUOTE]
