As I understand, the stress free pillar bedding will be specific for each action barreled into each stock.

If we have 2 action barreled which build by same action model and same barrel contour, Will they can switch stock between them?

Example;

Rifle A;
Tac 30 Repeater
.30 Taper Recoil Lug
Bartlein 1.25" x 5" taper to 1" @ 32"

Rifle B;

Bartlein 1.25" x 5" taper to 1" @ 32"

You can probably switch them fine since they are custom receivers and made to a higher standard than factory receivers (both TAC30s should be very close in spec). However, keep in mind that bedding will match EXACTLY to the receiver, so once you swap the stocks, they most likely won't be completely "stress-free".

I'll bet the rifles will shoot fine in either stock.
 
If each stock is inletted for that particular set-up, yes...they should switch back and forth.

If they've both been "glass" bedded, then that depends on if the cant angle of the barreled action into each individual stock was exactly the same.
