[QUOTE="Atlas 00, post: 527718, member: 35463"] Kevin, Thanks for the reply. Good to see that I'm not too far off track with regards to how to accurize a stock rifle. I should have explained what I did a bit better. Much of what you mentioned, I actually did accomplish. Trigger was replaced with an older Rem 700 model. Adjusted trigger to 2.5 lbs with a clean break (like glass) with no overtravel or creep. Stock was bedded stress free, (fully free floated barrel). Optics are very good and mounted properly, never had any issues in that department. Reloading is fine too, been doing it for the past 20 years with no issues as well. I definitely respect quality control in all aspects of the reloading department. All in all, I tend to agree with you about the Hogue stock. There's only so much you can do with those type of stocks. I simply just wanted to see if it would work out any better given how cheap it is to bed a stock vice purchasing a whole new one. Another question I have is about "pressure points". The original wood stock had a pressure point at the end of the stock. It's a fluted barrel that measures approximately .635 at the muzzle. I would have figured that it would shoot better free floated. I have heard that some skinny barrels just need to have pressure point. Any truth to that?? [/QUOTE]
