[QUOTE="Edd, post: 1084490, member: 30592"] I don't think my stock would be considered flimsy. It is a McMillan Remington Hunter style. The forend is pretty hefty. McMillan lists it as large enough for a #8 contour. My barrel is a lot lighter than a #8 but it is still pretty heavy. It is 1.0" diameter at the tip of the forend and has a muzzle diameter of .840" at 26 inches. I can feel the forend flex when the weight is positioned on the bipod stud. The best I can tell, with what I have to measure with, the gap changes between .005" and .010" at the tip of the forend depending where the weight support point is. [/QUOTE]
