Anschutz 1807 stock scratches

[yana]

My 1807 stock has some wood chipped out at the back of the action, at the left side.
I always wonder how it was damaged.
I happened to be searching the internet today, and found another 1807 for sale at egun.de.
Weirdly enough, it has stock damage at exactly the same spot! (see pic) only my stock's damage is a bit worse.
You'de thínk it has been cut out because the bolt was blocking at it but if you test this it's just not possible.
Anymore 1807's with the same stock 'damage'?
Was it a stock/bolt fitting problem in these cases?
Or just a stupid coincidence?

That's from not having the lugs on the bottom of the bolt properly lined up when re-inserting the bolt after you've had it out of the rifle. Especially likely to happen if the bolt isn't properly cocked at the time. It is very common.

May be due to removing bolt without lowering the cheek piece?

I can remove the bolt without lowering the cheekpiece but thanks anyay for yr reaction. Looks like Sandy22 found the cause indeed..Should't happen if you take care when refitting yr bolt. Even when misaligned you shouldn't damage the stock than...
