[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 491639, member: 2736"] I'm with kevin on this one to. The "Tupperware" stocks are just a handle not what I would call a stock. I have tried to turn them into something usable and labor and materials cost as much as a real stock. You can make them better but they will always hold a good rifle back. They did lower the price of rifles and I am grateful for that but for $100.00 + you can buy a good laminate stock that is hands down better and can be pillar bedded and shoot better than most people can. Also the cost of working up loads has to be figured in to the cost of a rifle with a poor stock and you may never find a "Good" load with the Tupperware stocks. Being water proof is the only attribute that they have and the expansion rate of the molded plastics is many times greater than wood. I am not against trying to better anything But you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear. Go ahead and try by all means but eventually you will get a "Real Stock" and be able to see how much better any decent stock is compared to the Tupperware stocks. I know this is not what you asked ,Just trying to save you some time,trouble and cost. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
