[QUOTE="kiwi3006, post: 331193, member: 8927"] I still have the *** remington plastic stock on my rifle. I have bedded the action using Acraglass and floated the barrel. I just took to the stock with a dremel, craft knife etc. I did epoxy in an aluminium tube in the forestock to stiffen it up. This made it group much better using a bipod. There probably are two pressure pads just back from the front of the stock in the barrel channel. It shouldn't hurt the accuracy to remove them, especially if you bed the action. If the accuracy does deteriorate you can put them back in using epoxy and hanging a 7 lb weight off the front sling swivel. Not all synthetic stocks are plastic some are fiberglass and other materials. The manufacturer should say what the material is, especially if it is not plastic! The remington stocks are pretty crappy, but with the mods mentioned they will shoot better until you can afford a really good one. Hope all this helps, Stu. [/QUOTE]
