At this point and because you are so close to hunting season just shimming the pockets will work for you for now... if that is the problem which I am almost sure it might be.
The other thing if you are bench shooting with a front rest keep the rest as far back on the under side of the stock as you can that will reduce the compression of the stock against the barrel.
The last resort if there is time - I have a extra black Omega stock with the work already done you could certainly borrow for hunting season if I can get it to you quick enough....
You are really too kind. I can't imagine making the shims would be that much work at all though.
Let me pick your brain on last time though. Okay that it is lie, it won't be the last time.
The constant is that after getting a good group, I removed my action from the stock. Can't change that. And let's say I cannot make it back to the range before opening day. If either of the following two scenarios occur, do you think I will be dealing with a change in POI?
1) My gun passes the dollar bill test. I remove it form the stock and see absolutely no signs of wear from the stock moving.
2) My gun FAILS the dollar bill test, and there are slight wear marks inside the stock. I install teflon shims per your example. Gun then passes the dollar bill test.
