[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 206209, member: 2736"] Good post ROY!!! Just think of a new guy trying to do all of this. I get quite a few of these stocks because the rifles are so cheep to use as a donor, and like you I love a challenge so I set out to see if I could make one work. After many hours and dollars I found that it was barely good enough to hunt with and even then you had to be carefull how you placed it on the forearm when shooting. The end results were that it was better to find a good composite or laminate and not look back. And with a bipod the only way I shot consistantly was to move the bipod back close to the front bedding/action screw. Unfortunately ,I like the way the black with gray panels look but just dont like the way they shoot even when worked on. And to answer Lurchers question = The most ridged stocks that are affordable in my opinion are the varmit laminate stocks . If money is no object then the carbon fiber ones are very good.
