I recently picked up an 03A3 Springfield that had been converted to a budget benchrest rifle, and I am in the process of fashioning a rear pillar for the action. What is the right amount of separation to have between the mag well and the base of the action, or does it really matter if they make contact?

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
