[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 1963029, member: 1403"] Thinking about getting a new stock for the Vanguard 240 WBY. The cheap plastic factory stock leaves a lot to be desired and I think it will help with the accuracy I'm trying to achieve. It's a 3/4 MOA rifle with the 87g VMAX and 105g HPBTs, but it's my LR coyote rifle and that's not good enough. It needs to be 1/2 MOA or better. I like laminated stocks so was thinking about one of them. Are the Boyd's, Richard's, or Stockys any good? Of course they all will still need bedded. I'm not a fan of thumb hole stocks, but I do like the A5 style. I also plan to put a sendero weight 28" Bartlein on it in a few years after the factory barrel shoots out.
