[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 730510, member: 30902"] He's got a point there. The platic stocks are pretty flimsy but you can open up the bottom channel and fill it all the way to the recoil lug with Marine Tex or Devcon or even lay a piece of SS rod (like a cleaning rod) in that channel and then epoxy it in with the above and make them extremely rigid. That's what I did with my 700bdl 7mm STW and it worked out extremely well. I also added a thin washer on each of the action screws between the action and stock to give it about a 1/16th lift when I did the bedding to help ensure permanent free floating no matter what the conditions were. A couple of hours worth of work saved me having to buy and expensive stock and I even used some lead shot mixed with the epoxy to weight the forearm a bit which definitely helped with muzzle flip.
