[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 2764626, member: 104268"] My buddy's rifle is just not shooting very good, despite having spun on an 1:8 5R X-Caliber, heavy sporter barrel in 7-08, and trying quite a few different bullets (Barnes, Hammer, and Badlands). It didn't shoot that great with the OEM 243 barrel either. Unfortunately, it's a top release, accutrigger model from ~1 year before they changed the action screw spacing on the short actions, so getting another stock is highly unlikely. It's a real shame, as OEM accustocks can be had for a song. My last ditch effort will be to bed the stock with some devcon (tang, both action screw pillars), but the design is a bit goofy, and I'm wondering what I should do in the area around the recoil lug, as it's not a "slot". [ATTACH type="full"]444544[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]444545[/ATTACH] You can see from the pictures hat the stock/action contact isn't exactly "like a glove"...The pillars actually sit below the plastic, and before I smoothed things out with some sandpaper, there were burs and ridges and molding marks in there. Figure removing a bit of plastic and bedding it with some devcon can't hurt, and potentially could really help... How would you go about this, particularly in regards to the front around the recoil lug and barrel nut? [/QUOTE]
