I have a Remington SPS Tactical that I purchased a take off HS stock for to replace the original hogue stock. The take off stock has been bedded for a 700 Synthetic varmint in it. I went to drop in my action and the back screw by the trigger guard is too short to reach the back of the action, and the hole in the action may actually be a little off center from the pillar (but it is difficult to tell for).
What is the best way to try to address this? I want to say that I should just remove the bedding, but I didn't know if I could/should just buy a longer screw to use? If I get a longer screw, what is the best way to get it flush with the action? If I remove the bedding, is there anything that I need to be careful about, other than making sure that I don't dremel too far and start removing some of the material underneath the bedding.
Thanks. I know these may be stupid questions, but I am trying to learn.
