Not to belabor the point but what I am looking at is that the elevation of the ferrule is lower than the inletted part of the stock at the rear of the trigger assembly. The ferrule is not loose. I shimmed the stock at the lower elevation to match the higher part so as not to spring the assembly down to meet the ferrule. Either the ferrule was not done correctly to begin with or the inletting of the stock to the rear of the trigger was wrong. Have not been to the range yet to see if this helps or not yet. I will end up taking the rifle to a gunsmith to have him correct the bedding problem.
