[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1032828, member: 22069"] I have used Boyds stocks and have done bedding work myself with good results. But, there will be a lot of inletting involved to get a good fit. There is a lot more to doing this than you realize. You will need to buy inletting tools and it will take a lot of time and patience to get it right. In the end, it will cost you at least as much as a B&C and you will end up with something that is not as good. A good synthetic stock with an aluminum bedding block is a much higher quality option. The B&C is far and away a better stock. As far as group size between models is concerned, remember that you will be dealing with a factory barrel on either rifle. Any difference between the two will have more to do with luck of the draw than any differences in configuration. Despite what the marketing materials may say, there won't be a difference in inherent accuracy between the two that is attributable to the barrel. The B&C stock on the Extreme Weather is likely to have a much greater effect on accuracy, but that can be a non-factor if you are planning to replace the stock on an Ultimate Shadow. [/QUOTE]
