Re: stock bedding question help
Since you are dealing with a molded in color stock it would be a shame to bed the channel, it will be obvious and most likely stand out more so than just having an oversized barrel channel.
I would get another stock or leave the channel how it is.
BTW - in the second pic it looks like the barreled action is tilting upward and creating ALOT larger gap than should be. You might check your lug fit.

Re: stock bedding question help
fng23, thanks for the input. I checked a few things, and noticed that front bottom metal screw (b-square) was about 1/5" too long compared to the factory remington screw. Put a beat up factory one in, and also removed all bedding in the recoil lug area. It helped alot. Still a gap, but not as bad.
Thanks again for the help, it takes a fresh set of eyes sometimes. I've been pounding my head looking at it so long, did not even look at the obvious.
