Hello all. I just wanted to say what an outstanding source of information the hide is. I have been a lurker on here for a while before finally deciding to join.
I have ran into a bit of an issue. I am currently doing a remington model 700 build (5R stainless .308 )build and I finally got my stock in (AICS 2.0) I went and did a test fit and low and behold the rear bolt hole in my action does not line up with the stock. I managed to get my hands on a "donor" action to see if the holes were misaligned in the stock and that action dropped in with no problems.
I am pretty sure this isn't the first time this has happened to someone and I failed to glean and information regarding this issue. My main question is where to go from here? I am certain the stock is within spec. Should I get a gunsmith to take measurements on the action on my rifle to make sure it is in spec and if it is out of spec I am guessing contact remington? I bought with rifle brand new so it is still under warranty. Thanks in advance and I apologize if this is a bit of a repeated thread.
