[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 359801, member: 11717"] A lot of good info there Nate. Much appreciated. Yeah, I've been through the hoops with the Beretta folks. Their strategy is to blame it on copper fouling which they did in my case saying they had taken "a lot" copper out of my rifle which was total BS. When a patch comes out white after a good long soaking of Wipeout, there is no copper in it as a locla gunsmith has confirmed to me after borescoping a couple of my rifles. And this is the way Isent it to Beretta - with a spotless bore. It made me irate, especially the second time and a 3 page letter with it. Then of course they questioned the scope, shooter, recoil, etc,. to which I replied that I was using a NF NXS and had shot sub .5 MOA groups at several hundred yards with both my Sendero 25-06 and 300 RUM (mega recoil) with same scope. But there was no way they would admit fault with their rifle. But enough of that rant. I think it would easy enough to make a simple mod to their design and build in a recoil lug similar to Howa's design even with their magazine deal. The injection molded stock fits very snug and maybe a very slight pinch. There is little to no room for any epoxy bedding unless I remove a lot of material. I did do some sanding arount the bolt channel and the plastic material seems to be fiberous. It seems fairly stiff and stable to me and the forearm supports a good bit of weight on a bipod with out closing the gap between the stock and barrel. I really, really like the action. It is silky smooth (and the trigger too) and if it was a shooter I would keep it. As it is, I am leaning to sell it because I dont see much future in trying to modify it or build off of it because of the convoluted lug design. I am thinking about getting another lug piece to replace what they is there but the locla machine shop estimated $250 for the work because of the set uop required and all the intricate angles and cuts. That's alot of $$$ for what would basically be an experiment. What I am thinking of doing next is taking some electrical tape and wrapping it around the barrrel near the sling stud until it provides some pressure from the stock. If that works, I'll figure some way to build in a pressure point in the foearm of the stock and see if that works. If it does, it's a keeper or at least I could sell it for a good price with a good conscience. if not, I'll probably just sell it as is and get what I can for it and let the buyer know it's history. Thanks again for the feedback. Cheers, Mark [/QUOTE]
