Got a new build together finally after everything came in. I had McMillan cut in new bottom metal and inlet for a different barrel contour, along with ensure nothing needed changed for my zermatt origin action ( this started life as a rem 700 in this stock). I found this chip? Crack? For lack of a better word in the stock, it’s small, and up against the action itself, or right below it. Is this anything to worry about accuracy wise or send it?
Will this affect accuracy?

If you apply inward pressure on the outside of the stock does it flex and open up that scratch/crack?
No, it doesn’t. And having it apart to test your question, I snapped a pic from the bottom. It looks like it’s just barely touching the bottom of the action.

If it doesn't flex at all applying pressure from the outside, I would personally seal it up with a little epoxy, sand it down flush, and shoot it.
It sounds like there is enough material around it. You could do what @Obi-WanKannoli suggested for piece of mind.
Thanks guys! I’m doing a little final fitting of the stock anyway, so epoxy and sand it is. I hadn’t even thought of that.
Of you bed the action into the stock it'll likely fill up all the voids that show up when inletting
I have had a stock that I used a couple layers of thick rubber tape around the barrel and "bedded" to the thickness of the tape to clean up / tighten up the barrel inlet area as well
