So I have a Remington 700 SPS Tactical in 308. As most others with this rifle I traded out the stock pretty quickly. I got a 700 VS take off stock. I'm not sure on the model # but pretty sure that it is the HS Precision PSV002. Anyways once I put the rifle into the stock I could not manipulate the bolt release. The trigger group was pushed all the way over to the left of the stock, right if you look at it from the bottom. The bolt release was pushed up against the bottom metal. See 1st pic.
After some reading I found a thread here about milling out the stock. As it turns out this HS stock was set up for the old style 700 trigger. The X Mark pro trigger has a larger foot print. So for quite some time I meticulousy ground out a portion of the stock. See 2nd pic.
So now that the stock has been dremeled out and the action sits in I can move it back and forth (without BM and screws in). Since it has play left and right I figured it was enough material dremeled out and put the BM back on. And epic fail! The trigger group is still pushed up against the BM.
I got ticked off so I tried my wife's VTR in the HS stock. Same results. Still being a pain in the a$$. Well I got to looking a little bit more closely and think that I've found the problem.
So I took the BM and screwed it onto the receiver. And BAM! Found the problem. One of the pins that holds the trigger in place is too wide. The pin itself is what has been pushing against the BM forcing the trigger to one side. See 3rd pic.
So now I'm in a position to where I must decide what to do. The pillars in the stock are short to where the BM is getting tightened over the screws so I could pillar and skim bed. Or get an older style trigger.
Either way, I wanted to share with you all about my misfortunes (yet enlightenment) and hope it can help you out. Sorry about the pictures being crappy so that's why I used red to emphasize areas.
