The next step after the barreled action has been inletted is to inlet the bottom metal. I use two alignment pins which screw into the holes for the guard screws of the action to keep every thing straight and level. I find it easiest to use a padded to hold the action to the stock blank durring the inletting. Most of the roughing out of the inletting is done with burrs and a "Fordom" and Dremel , thenk God for power tools. All the fine work is done with chisels, rasps and files.
You must take care to keep the edges of the inletting tight with the metal and some sort of collering on the metal helps (prussion blue is what I use) Keep in mind that you only want to remove wood where the blue shows but also remember that you will get to a point where you will have contact and blue on all the edges of the inletting if it is tight as it should be. The trick is to know when to stop removing the wood where the blue shows. Go sluwly is the best advice I can give you about this.


When the inletting is finished it is time to fit the recoil pad or butt plate. All the lines of the stock will work from the pad forward. The pad will be set to one side of the center line of the stock for the cast, in this case it is 1/2" to the right . This rifle has minimal drop so the heel of the pad is as close to the center line of the bore as possable.

It is the small calibers that are the biggest bores.
