Sorry I can't help, but if no one else chimes in with the info you need here you might ask on SavageShooters.com. Lots of good Savage specific information there. Good luck.

Re: Savage shooters whidden v/block?
Make sure it is installed correctly. I bought a stock with one, and it wasn't installed right —the front was too high, causing the barreled action to point up relative to the stock. I had to get my local smith to mill it so it was level and lightly skim bed it (he also had to machine away a good bit of the rear pillar area to clear a SSS Evolution trigger). Once fixed it works great.

I had a Whidden V-block put in my newest F/O build, not so much that I thought it would be more accurate,(it certainly wouldn't be less accurate) but to give some flexibility.
I can use the same high-dollar MasterClass stock with multiple rem 700's and rem700 clone barreled actions. I can now shoot 6mm/22-250, .223 and .308 just by dropping a different barreled action into the stock.
I saved major $$$ by not having to buy three stocks.
Just another way of looking at it.
