[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 858511, member: 59915"] You're very welcome. Let us know how it turns out. With a little bit of work those cheap Tupperware stocks can shoot fair too. Don't buy into the " have to have a $500 stock to shoot well idea. A few of my guns still wear their flimsy factory stocks and shoot sub 1/2 MOA. The two main things they need are bedding the action and relieving on the fore end. Those flimsy stocks will flex, move, shimmy, warp, and everything else when you shoot so they need a lot of room all the way around the barrel to prevent contact during the shot. Just something to think about before buying a new one. You can bed it yourself after watching some YouTube videos for $20 or less depending on the materials you choose. And some work with some sockets wrapped in sandpaper will float the barrel. Easy, cheap things to try that may make her shoot satisfactory without dropping $. I will say again. I am not impressed with the Hornaday superformance at all. I've tried it in 3 guns in the last year. The first did shoot it fair, 3/4" at 100. The second 4-5" groups and the third gun 3" groups. Also with this last gun. One of the boxes I'm 10 rounds into with 3 dud rounds already. Struck the primers multiply times. Will not fire. [/QUOTE]
