None of my Weatherby rifles have shims. Are you the original owner? If you are not, it’s possible someone put shims in to try to float the barrel. Or maybe it’s a replacement stock that didn’t fit correctly.
yes brand new from factory
and in the instructions boocklet they show the shims
one in the back and one in the front
but I have 4 of them that fell out and I don't know if they go 2 on each side or 1 and 3
sent a email to Weatherby and waiting for answer
will let you know the answer
