[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1401613, member: 2736"] No matter how much work you put In a Tupperware stock it will never be stable . you may get it to shoot, but when the temperatures change drastically the POI may/will shift. I understand why the inexpensive rifles have them, because it takes only a few minutes to mold them and just pennies in cost. It goes back to the old saying that "You get what you pay for". I have tried stiffening rods, bedding and even pillar bedding and the results were inconsistent with temperature changes and grouped were never 1/2 MOA. In my opinion they are just handles to hold the action. (I guess you can tell that I hate those stocks)Ha Ha. as to what I would replace it with, I prefer "Good" laminates, (I like the feel and the balance of them) but the high quality composites are also very good. I can appreciate your work to get it to shoot and understand spending money on a new stock at this time because I have been there. I will not guaranty 1/2 MOA on a custom rifle with this type of stock because the end results are that the Tupperware stock in the week point in an accurate firearm and cannot be expected to be consistent. When building a precision rifle you must start with all good and true parts, Substitute one quality part and the entire system is destined for trouble. If everything is of top quality and quality gun smithing is done they are trouble free and easy to find great loads for. Sorry for being frank, but as one of the old sages on this site says, "You cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear". the reason it is shooting as well as it is, is because of all your hard work and the drive for excellence in your loading. This is probably not what you want to hear, but it is my opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
