[QUOTE="SEOKGuy, post: 1526759, member: 108190"] I get ya that recoil can't be reduced. I guess distributed or "felt" recoil is what Nathan is talking about. He also states that Monte Carlo stocks allow the rifle to recoil at an upward angle making follow-up shots harder as NPOA has changed. I am curious if the raised comb will make it unnecessary to build up the cheekpiece which would be a plus though. Thanks for the input on bedding. I have never bedded a stock but I have a cheap plastic SPS stock on my .308 to practice on before going for this one. I guess I thought that bedding was always better than just aluminum bedding that has less contact surface. I'm a noob at this long range game and have a lot of learning to do yet. To date my longest shots have been at 400 yds - steel not animals. I'm hoping to double this with a new rig. You are correct that I haven't shot the rifle yet - but I'm itching to get it rigged. I guess there is no harm in trying the stock before replacement other than cost of ammo to re-zero the rifle if the stock is replaced. 7mm Rem Mag ammo cost more than what I'm used to paying for .308 though. I had a bit of sticker shock when I picked up SST Superformance for $43.99/box. On a different note I'm also researching whether to replace the trigger with a Timney or the like. I had the trigger replaced in my .308 due to recall and I don't like the feel at all. [/QUOTE]
