Thanks for this post, bought a barreled action back in the mid sixties in .243. Long action with a magazine block for the .243 cartridge. Anyway started restocking it several years ago and it got set aside. Guess it's time to dig it out and finish it.

When you start to stock the action, watch the safety fit. The safety should have a slot cut inside the action's well, wide enough (front to back and side to side) for forward and rear travel with the height of the wood below the safety's thumb plate set so that upon finish to be just below the thumb plate of the safety. The bottom of the thumb plate is below the top of the tang thus requiring a notch be cut in the stock. Look at the way the safety moves very carefully before you start. It is a bit tricky to get the angle and fit just right so the fit looks correct and is pleasing to the eye. The rest of the action fit is pretty straight forward, same as with any 98 action.
