[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 248017, member: 10178"] The bedding block on the Hogue is like all the full bed stocks. They all surround the back tang screw behind the trigger guard and go to the tip of the forearm. As to the durability of the Hogue stock rubber finish I really don't know because I just got my stock about a month ago but I have seen other people with them that are a few years old that look OK. The Hogue stock has a fiberglass skeleton overmolded with the rubber coating. As for fit I got the LA varmint stock because the rifle I put in it is a Rem 700 magnum action with a #4 Shilen magnum sporter barrel in 264 Win Mag. This barrel is a bit heavier than a standard magnum barrel. There is between 1/16 & 1/8 inch clearance between the barrel and forearm and it is uniform on both sides all the way down, and yes these stocks are free floated. I like the feel of the rubber, it is warm like a wood stock but stable like a glass stock. The action fits like a glove in the stock with no gaps. I think I remember seeing on the Hogue site a picture of the aluminum bedding block by itself. You might want to check it out. Like I said earlier the Hogue stock seems just as stable as my H-S precision stock does and they both have about the same dimintions. I have a Rem. 700 LA with a Shilen SS #6 barrel in 25-06 in the H-S precision stock. [/QUOTE]
