[QUOTE="Rflshootr, post: 2544999, member: 10284"] If cross section of the stock is so thin that there isn't enough room to put a pillar in the bottom of the fore end, then the stock is too thin to support the weight of a barrel that weighs 15-16 lbs. All the Master Class benchrest stocks with 3" forearms that I have seen pics of, should have plenty of room to under the barrel to add support, unless you simply don't want to do that. A Panda action is 1.5 wide and 1.720 tall, the same width as the barrel diameter. I can understand the width of the stock isn't wide enough for a full blown 2 piece bedding block, but underneath is a different story. Another viable option may be to cut a straight taper on the barrel with a 5" long straight section at the chamber end, and taper to 1.25 at the muzzle, you could lose about 2 lbs. of barrel weight. I'd like to see a picture of the stock and the barrel channel from a couple of different angles. [/QUOTE]
