[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1494663, member: 30902"] The pro mag is a decent stock for the money but it does have a fair bit of flex in it. Pillars will never stiffen a stock in the way an aluminum bedding block does. Mostly they keep you from crushing the stock when tightening the bolts and keep the torque more consistent. The Archangel is tacticool junk that I wouldn't waste my money on. I am extremely fond of the wood laminates and good composites but when you step up to the latter the price goes up considerably. You could do a lot worse than simply dropping your existing 300wm into a decent stock adding a good trigger and proper bedding. You might in fact be amazed in how much such a seemingly mild remodel can do to make a real shooter out of a so-so gun. Consider this too. While thumbhole stocks look cool unless you've shot them before I wouldn't encourage you in that direction especially if you plan on putting it around anything with significant recoil. With a heavy recoiling caliber it's quite easy to seriously damage your thumb with that style stock. [/QUOTE]
