A bike tire inner tube at the bottom then do the bolt tight.
I'm trying to get the best out of my Rapid Mk2 FAC, and have noticed that the action 'waggles' a little in the stock. By that, I mean than because the action is held into the stock with only one bolt by the trigger, it can rotate around the bolt in the stock inletting.
Would glass or Devcon bedding the action to keep it tight with make an improvement to the accuracy? I'm pretty sure that there used to be a 'How to bed your Rapid' webpage somewhere online, can anyone remember it?

Hi I used green felt stuck to the sides and near the back theres a screw hole they use for a Mk1 block trigger guard screw a bolt in then cut off so it sticks out about 3/4mm this grips into the stock and pevents movement.
mine also wiggles...completely unacceptable for a rifle of this price!!! As are quite a few other things on it!

If you have this problem first check that the bolt is not too long. I have found that stocks vary in thickness around the bolt fixing. Either that or the countersunk hole on the outside of the stock is sometimes drilled too deep. Anyway, try using one or more extra washers until the action is really tight in the stock. Packing like inner tube rubber is fine as well but I would go the bolt route first.

How much movement are you looking at, me personally would look at the base of the stock and make sure its nice and flat , one centre bolt should be ample when tightened up,
The action 'clonks' from side to side when taking off or replacing the buddy bottle. This can be lessened by tightening the action bolt (which is OK length, Cheers Nick!), but still not ideal.
I have cut a business card into 4, and sandwiched 2 strips each side between the stock and action, one fore the other aft. This now holds the action firmly, but I can see no accuracy improvement on an indoor 35 yard range.
Again, I'll have have to wait for a perfectly still day to test at longer range outdoors.
