[QUOTE="Kiwi Nate, post: 358535, member: 8533"] Thats good news, not the burr but that you found it. Glad you enjoyed the articles. You asked for after thoughts so here goes. Occasionally, a rifle will have more than one problem such as muzzle burrs plus a bedding issue. In the beginning, trouble shooting is an absolute nightmare until each issue is able to be seperated. In your situation, you might find that the rifle now groups or 'clusters' more consistantly (around 2.5MOA). Once you get a consistant cluster, your'e getting closer to the final goal. The next issues will be bedding, forend stability, the trigger and after this, load development and bore maintenance. The two synthetic stocks, old model and new model are much the same as far as accuracy potential goes. If they aren't properly bedded, they need to be left pressure point bedded as they came from the factory. With modern bedding compounds and MatchGrade stock stabilizer compound, a plastic stock can be made every bit as tough and effective as a glass stock. The major difference with glass stocks is that they come in such a wide variety of fits. Some of the beaver tail forend glass stocks are very nice to shoot. What you choose should be relative to your budget along with the fit of your current stock and how it feels to use. As an example, I like the current SPS stock on 7mm08 to .270 class rifles but on a heavy recoiling magnum, the slender SPS stock slips from my fore grip under recoil and becomes very uncomfortable to shoot.
