I put a couple of strips of HVAC foil tape under the recoil lug. Helps lift the barrel up a few thousandths and gives more clearance. It still seems to be fully intact with little or no wear after probably a 1000 rounds now.
Havent tried it with the Howa yet but with the Savages, you can further tune your groups by adjusting the action screw torque.
Basically I start with full value torque on the front screw, then start with whatever minimum you feel comfortable with on the rear, say 15-20 inch pounds, shoot a group. Then work your way in 5 lb increments until you find the sweet spot.
Edited: Here you go, the proper way.
