I did that and sanded the sides down to make more space for the barrel. I didn't notice much difference in accuracy but I think having more space for the barrel makes it less likely for the stock to get pressed against the barrel when resting on something or shooting off a bipod.
I put a laminated wood stock on the rifle now and pillar bedded it and that made a big difference to accuracy, I shot 2 sub half moa 3 shot groups recently.
