[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 130470, member: 2736"] JS I consider a 1/2 MOA to be the max 5 shot group for a custom rifle off sand bags and 1 MOA for a factory rifle but allways try to improve these maximum groups. The stock is the foundation for the rifle and has to be stable for it work with everything. With budget in mind look for a good strong stock and do all the beding,floating,to it and this should tell you if you need to rebarrel. I like the laminated stocks because they are very strong but are heaver than other stocks. Accuracy is a combination of good barrels,chambers,actions, crowns,stocks and shooting skills. Any one of these items if not present can cause problems and it sounds like all you need is a good stock. The best group I have ever shot was .053 5 shot 100 yds off sand bags with a 7mm-08 custom.some of the factory rifles I have oned have shot .377 moa to .612 moa with lots of work. some never would shoot so they became donor rifles(remove barrel & stock and use everthing else. Molded stocks are just a handle to hold on to.composit, laminate and even the wood stocks are better, Long winded I know but mabey this will help. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
