[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 867501, member: 11717"] The recoil lug fit's extremely snug in the molded stock so bedding isn't really an issue there. The action is also snug in the stock but might benefit from bedding. That said, I just don't think bedding is the problem in this rifle shooting 3 MOA give or take and i have seen some 4 MOA groups. I've decided I'm not going to invest any $$$ in the tupperware stock. I'll leave it as it is and sell it and put the cash toward a McMillan. I like all the cartridges you mention but not in a short action. I found that out with this rifle in 300 WSM. I had to shoot it as a single shot if I didn't want to bury the bullets in the case and get them close to the lands. Also already have the 6.5 WSM The reason I'm picking the SAUM is it has a shorter case and I am going to push the neck down a little with a 40* slope to make it shorter yet. this will allow me to seat longer bullets more efficiently and 6.5 and larger would be too long for the mag box. Thanks for the input [/QUOTE]
