    CP2016,

    Mine has the same gap, so you’re ok. The recoil lug will index the action correctly in the stock every time.

    Jimmy,

    Another idea. Try the same the same procedure with a dummy round and see if it still wiggles. It may be fine when chambered with a shell pushing back against the lugs. If you lack a dummy round, try a live one at your range or other safe environment.

    Jimmy,

    I read your post and tried the identical pushing on my T3x Lite 308 and there was no movement at all. I tried it both with the rifle cocked and de-cocked, and still no movement. My rifle has very tight headspace and I have to use a some extra force to close the bolt on some types of ammo. Maybe that has something to do with it.

    Be interested to see what others say.

    Hope this helps
