[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1534054, member: 10291"] My experience with two Accu-stocks...LRH and Predator. -Both had a small pressure point at the tip of the fore-end. When removed and the barrel fully floated, groups shrank from +1 MOA to <.5MOA. -The Accu-stock can flex with increases in torque, both effecting accuracy, and sometimes can cause the stock to make contact with the trigger bar. I found the front(lug) tightened to #45, and the rear to #20-#25 pounds produced the most consistent performance. Apply Blue Loctite as the bedding screws seem to loosen over time. If the rear is overtightened(+#45) it may deform the rear of the bedding block. It’s a poor design! An aftermarket stock with a firm chassis, glass bedded, or both is the best solution. -As an aside, the extraction/ejection can be substanciallly improved and reliable with two low cost modifications in about 5 minutes. Replace the .125” extractor detent ball with a .140”(Brownells), and the Ejector Pin/Spring with the long stem/heavy spring replacement(Midway). -the factorybarrels on both of these Savages while a bit rough when bore-scoped, gave consistent and accurate performance in the Accustocks(tuned as above). When the 6.5x284 reached 1200 rounds and still shooting sub .5MOA, I replaced the original stock with an MPA Light Chassis and the barrel with a Criterion Light Palma. While the action is not as smooth and nicely finished, accuracy and reliability is on par with my best customs. Shown .
