I am sitting here with the composite stock in my lap studying your proposed question... I am going to bed this one but it will not be till after hunting season probably January.

From what I see right her in front of me I am going to: (Geez you are not going to believe what i just found - had to get a magnigying glass out but the bottom of the front lug is "cracked" - not all the way through the stock but it is definitely cracked - now wonder the gun moves back and forth in the stock.... Sending this back to TC...)

1. Build a wood block (dam) in 1" in front of the front lug - fill that area to the front of the front lug with fiberglass to the heighth of the front lug.
2. Fill the area between the front and rear lugs to the heighth of the lugs.
3. Build a wood block (dam) at the rear of the rear lug - not sure how far back without setting the action in the stock.

Once the bottom of the stock is filled and set that will provide a lot more stability to the lugs.

The last step for me will to put glass in the lugs and set the action in - that will glass the action to the stock. The barrel and the sides of the action will still be free floating.

But all this is a moot point for me right now as I will have to send the whole works back to TC - I wish they would just swap stocks.

Anyway my thoughts...
