[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 52519, member: 376"] Hmmm... that's interesting. Never noticed it myself. I'll agree that they aren't perfect, but I personally don't thing there is $600 worth of 'wrong' with them either. Care to share what precisely constitutes 'sucks' to you? I have two 700VS's, one w/ a HS Precision stock w/ the aluminum bedding block, and a newer one of the same style that I'm not entirely sure if it's an HS Precision, or one of the new Bell-n-Carlson ones that Remington switched to to save money. In any even, both guns shot pretty well to start w/, and a simple skim bedding (~$50) to ensure 100% contact dropped both of them down to averaging 1/2" or less. I had them both lengthened, one w/ an adjustable Graco, one w/ just spacers (that one is destined for a Tubbs adjustable buttplate). Didn't really affect the physical accuracy, but did make them more comfortable to shoot. Me, I have more gripes w/ their barrels. They seem to shoot pretty well, but both of mine are a PITA to clean, and both have some dimensions that are less than optimal. I'm not saying that there isn't room for improvement. I just don't see there being that much benefit of getting the gun a $600 McMillan stock fitted to it, vs getting some pillars, and bedded, which would cost what, $150-200 depending who does it and where, vs. $600 for a new McMillan stock. Ultimately, though, it isn't your $$$ or mine for that matter, so it's a moot point for the most part [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] I guess Keith has at least two different view points to choose from at this stage, and either one should do just fine. YMMV, Monte [/QUOTE]
