Stock inlet identification

Hi all
Brought this stock a couple of years back for an intended project that never really got going

Now if memory serves I brought it as a Remmy action inlet, however I've recently tried my Remmy in it and it don't fit
the tang is too wide but more of an issue is the recoil lug slot is too far forward in the stock for the action to drop in

I could do with identifying the inlet, so I've taken some measurements on the hope that someone recognises it

3 action screws Short action

rear action screw to middle screw C/C 91mm
Centre screw to front screw C/C 74mm
Tang width (smallest) 25.5
Middle action screw(centre)to near face of recoil lug hole 105.7mm
Recoil lug hole width 6.3mm

the trigger guard recess is 86.6 x 16.6mm

Any ideas on which Remmy clone this is inlet for from this info

in anticipation

Duey

Is your Remington a short action and the stock designed for a Remington long action?

In old money front to back action screw is 6 1/2" so its defiantly a short action


I believe the recoil lug is wrong for an RPA

a neskia S/A fits the action screws but the recoil lug is wrong as is the tange size

To be honest the RPA was my first though but been told otherwise

According to this site https://www.stockysstocks.com/tech-support/ and Boyds, a front to back action screw of 6 1/2" is either a short action Remington 700 or a Winchester 70 Super short action.

It's not the action screws that are the problem, I know it's a short action Remington size, probably a clone, but the position of the recoil lug and the size of the tang is the issue
it would be good to know what actual action, drops straight in, with no need for machining
I got the stock a few years back now and the contact details of who I had it off are long gone unfortunately

Looks as though it could be a single shot .22rf maybe the Remington 40X or such like

It is easy enough to plunge a new slot for the recoil lug and bed the slot only.
