Tikka T1X - Shoehorn in or Out ?

Anyone one tried their T1X both ways? shoehorn in and shoehorn out ? The shoehorn is the plastic stock filler right in front of the action. Mine is out at this time.
 
There's been a few posts/threads about this over on RFC. Seems to be a toss-up. Some think their rifle shoots better with it in and others say it shoots better with it out. Some say they saw no difference.

My T1x shoots great with it in. So just left it there. It's like torque tuning for me. Not much gained by messing with it

I have mine out now.......accuracy is good, I cant see it improving it but who knows, I know when it was in the stock seemed more rigid, anyone else notice that ? Plus it does look a bit better with it in.

A shooting buddy of mine says the shoehorn in makes his shoot a higher point of impact and he says it didnt need to be torqued as much...something like 20-22 in lbs vs 30 in lbs with it out. I personally have never seen torquing have much effect on accuracy, thats not to say it doesnt.

It's what allows the T1X to fit in a Tikka centerfire stock. It fills in the gap caused by the smaller rimfire barrel.
