Tikka recoil lugs

I have a tikka t3 with a remington style recoil lug that I am planning to build a stock for. I also have tikka t1 22lr that I have been using in my tube gun stock on the winter.
I would build the stock and bed around the t3 and it's recoil lug. However, if I want to use the 22lr in the stock, should I bed the tikka recoil lug to pop out for the centerfire and drop in for rimfire or just rely on the action screws and friction instead of a lug for the rimfire?
I realize it would be a pain to bed for 2 recoil lugs and I don't think anyone makes a tikka bedding block. The 22lr is also a smaller diameter receiver which may effect things too.

If you care about them being bedded correctly youll need 2 stocks. 2 in 1 shampoo doesnt work as a conditioner or shampoo very well and a fish and ski boat really sucks for fishing and skiing.
Dusty,
I thought about the same thing after I posed the question. I think if I wanted to do, I would need need to have a bedding block setup like the guys running centerfire actions in anschutz stocks. Building 2 stocks is not a lot more work than 1 and this is probably the route I will end up going.

Why not keep using the stock for the T1 that you currently use?
That stock gets used in the summer with a centerfire action.
