I am helping a buddies kid set up his 7mm08. It has about 100 to 150 rounds through it. De-coppered it, pulled it all apart, and getting ready to put it back together. The stock is steel pillar bedded, trigger guard is plastic, and the barrel is not free floated. The recoil lug is built in, not attached to the barrel.
I am not sure what to do with this stock. Is it worth doing anything to it or should I look for an accustock or other brand with aluminum bedding or just better built? I assume if I go with a different stock I will need to get a recoil lug and different barrel nut, correct?
This is the first Axis I have ever even held in my hands and I don't know what to do with it. It needs a lot of help and they don't have a lot of money so I am sort of stuck.
