[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 44958, member: 8947"] Express, that is very unfortunate but not uncommon. I have worked on some HS products and ingeneral the bedding is horrid and the interior finish slack. I guess what you don't see you don't pay for. The exterior paint also chips quite easily. For what they charge, it really isn't worth it. However, they do supply the largest tactical army force on the planet so they must be "good" or at least good enough. One other thing you must look at and so should JohnS, is the use of heavy torque to put the action into the stock. As a rule, this will distort the action which is not a good thing. simple test, with your hand on top of the action, tighten and loosen the front action screw by hand. I bet you will feel that action moving. It is actually bending to fit inside that V groove bedding. You just spent many dollars having some gunsmith precision align and true up the action, bolt and barrel to a few thous. Now you slap it into a stock that bends the action so much you can see and feel it. What's the point in that? The last HS stock I worked on needed the bedding raised 1/8" to get a stress free fit. If your rifle still shoots well after being bent so much, it only shows you how important all that truing really is...another story. Jerry PS you used to be able to find grafetti, cig. butts, and lunch leftovers in the door and compartments of Ferrari's. How did it make the owner feel after shelling out all those bucks? [/QUOTE]
