[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 535908, member: 5219"] You asked if your stock should be upgraded. I'd say yes if you can afford it. I think you will end up with a more stable platform and get consistent results. Injection molded stocks are not in the same class as fiberglass or even laminates. If you can afford it get a quality stock like a McMillan you won't regret it. Besides the need for a stable platform, felt recoil can be subdued by the proper fitting stock. Fiberglass has some flexability during recoil which also helps. I have a McMillan hunter stock on my 300 RUM and it is quite comfortable to shoot. 200 gr accubonds at 3175 from this 9 pound rifle is very tolerable. I am not fond of the shape of the remington stocks even their laminates. I had a beautiful LSS 7 RUM that caused a finger knuckle on my right hand to get wacked every time I shot it. The grip was just too short. I was considering restocking but never did as my friend talked me out of it. Continuing with felt recoil: McMillan makes two stocks specifically designed to handle heavy recoil but you don't hear much about them. The Lazzaroni sporter and Lazzaroni thumbhole were designed by Harry Lawson Co for John Lazzaroni. My friend has the sporter and it has an excellent fit and feel. It is your choice. The hard part is figuring out which stock. I am lucky I drove to McMillan and handled their stocks. I am sure others can comment on which stocks might suit your needs. [/QUOTE]
