Pulling up a photo of an EM332 it looks like both action screws might be ahead of the trigger? That could be a problem. I believe that is indeed how the Anschutz Match 54 action is configured, but the sporter 54 action has the rear action screw behind the trigger. You can actually see it in the photo I posted of the tang grinding - the hole right at the back. Here's a few more dimensions from my Anschutz receiver if they're of any use to you anyway:

• Action Screw Spacing: 176.2mm
• Rear action screw to rear edge of receiver: 9.8mm
• Front action screw to rear face of recoil lug: 12.0mm
• Receiver diameter: 29.8mm

All dimensions referencing action screws are to the hole centre. I also know where there's a factory classic stock inlet for the same action (but wing safety, not side safety).
