[QUOTE="Teleos, post: 401978, member: 20677"] I have a SPS Varmint with one of the cheap remington stocks that I bedded. I shot a full box of black hills at 0.6 - 0.5 MOA. Everything else on the rifle was factory. The stiffness of the stock isn't an issue if you fill up the length of it with Devcon. You can save yourself a good $500. I mean once you pillar bed and epoxy the forend (I did all mine myself, 3 layers of duct tape under the barrel will float it to the same specs as a McMillan. I drilled out space for 2 aluminum rods to save epoxy) I'm not sure that a McMillan is actually gonna give you any better results. What would the difference be? Less compression under the action? Do these things add up to any noticeable gain in accuracy? I'm gonna buy a McMillan one of these days but I've got a few rifles I need to pick up first. And I'm definitely happy having learned a bit of the trade hands-on. [/QUOTE]
