I tried to do a drawing but it looks naff, with most rifles you should be able to slide a piece of paper etc between the stock and barrel it's doesnt to to be loads of space just enough to allow movement,

does seem to be American 'sporting rifle' shooters convinced by this. Personally I've just bedded the action.
