Especially if it's as common as it sounds like. Why has ruger and kimber not corrected the problem.

It’s a matter of several factors:
1) Manufacturing variability in part dimensions means some of the magboxes - which are meant to be relatively pinched between the action and bottom metal - are pinched harder than others.
2) Stock inlets are especially variable
3) Paying someone to hand fit the mag boxes of every rifle would mean a price increase to the end product.
Effectively the same reason manufacturers use full contact barrel channels or pressure pads in their stocks instead of free floating, or the same reason manufacturers don’t pillar block and bed actions... Added labor = added production cost...
