Bell and Carlson Fit - Savage 111 barrel nut

I installed my action into this stock a couple years ago. If I pinch the barrel and the tip of the stock together, the barrel would make contact and thought maybe that’s normal? Tonight I took it apart to clean it and noticed the barrel nut marks on the stock (see picture). I don’t recall if this was there when I first installed it or if the impression was created when I first installed it. Is that impression okay or do I need to sand it down so no contact is made? Could this be causing the flex and the action not being fully seated to the bed? Thanks.

Personally I work get rid of that area. The only thing that I would allow to touch the bedding is the action. The issue is that if the nut moves at all it is installed differently, the action won’t seat correctly.
