Years ago I did construction for a living, including finish carpentry on multi-million dollar homes down to cracker box homes. I was very meticulous, and a down right perfectionist. Some customers would refer to me as a craftsmen. Others a handyman. I considered myself a skilled craftsmen. It's handymen that produce products like the OP's pictures. Anyone worth their salt would be disgusted with that slop.
Call me biased. I had to fix the crap work of sooooooo many handymen, that I could not stand to be called one. But point taken.Man, that's a bit cruel to even the shittiest of handymen. That is the work an elementary school kid would do if explained how by a handyman over the phone.
You sound very handy, man.Call me biased. I had to fix the crap work of sooooooo many handymen, that I could not stand to be called one. But point taken.
It needs to be redone. There isn't enough support and eventually it will crush and move.
I'd also be wondering if the recoil lug is fully engaging the action. that has to engage fully or you may batter the slot in the action to death.

That looks like a Mesa precision stock from the pic of those pillars.What stock is that? I can’t figure out why manufacturers would make a tikka inlet with cutouts right over the pillars.
Id get my money back and send it to someone who will do it right.

I’m not sure exactly what their reasoning is. It could be that many people buying stocks are buying them as “drop in ready” and don’t ever even bed them. For an average hunter that might not practice a lot and hunts a few times a year I’m not sure they would even notice things like that in their accuracy either.thats what I figured. Do you know why companies are placing cutouts directly over the pillars? Seems counterintuitive.

Many times when prepping a stock for bedding especially with already installed pillars I have found you need to remove a bit of material from around the pillars. Then I can make sure the action is level and sitting proper in the stock before adding bedding compound.
Double WOW!!! Well, unless his gunsmith is a 4 year old, no disrespect to all the 4 year olds out there, that IS NOT EVEN CLOSE to what a proper bedding job should look like, not even close.If anyone is still following, I sent those pictures to the owner of the shop..
He stands by his gunsmith’s work and says this is exactly what a proper bedding job should look like. he offered a 50% refund.
