[QUOTE="redbullitt, post: 1302655, member: 100987"] I have an sps in 223. Shot it today about 30 rounds out to 550 yards. I changed the trigger and eventually the stock, but that little rifle flat out shoots better than it has any right to. I think I lucked out and got a good barrel and action from the factory. Mine came with a similar stock, and it worked okay, but was very flimsy. I got a good deal on an HSPrecision takeoff I couldn't refuse, so it wears that now. I filled in the forestock with epoxy and made sure the barrel floated okay. Sanded down a bit on at the action end and bedded it too. This made the stock a lot stiffer and shooting off sandbags no longer made the front of the stock touch the barrel. I would try to get some stiff rods or something like that for the stock to bed in under the epoxy at the front. Should be much more solid that way, especially since weight is not really going to be an issue. I wanted to do that in mine, but just wound up with straight epoxy. Worked out fine that way though.
