    Action rocking in the stock

    As above. A friends gun is rocking in the stock. Looks like too much has been taken off the wood at the side of the action. Is there any cure to this?

    You/he have several options,
    1/. it could be that a high spot has been left & actually a bit more needs removing to stop the action rocking like a seesaw.

    2/. it could be that the mounting bolt is bottoming out before it fully tightens so measure the depth, it might just need either a washer or a shorter bolt.

    3/. Shim the fit with thin rubber sheet, as above a sliced open inner tube can be perfect.

    4/. Properly "bed the action" with epoxy, cavedweller1959 on youtube gives good clear details, but remember several coats of release agent
