[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1518000, member: 11960"] For the chambering, I've always liked the idea of the 280 AI. It's a great combo of performance and simplicity. Unlike some, I think the B&C stocks are very functional and I've actually used a couple on full custom builds. I don't know that I've ever had a gun which was held back in the accuracy department because of stock. I've had a lot of factory rifles in factory tuperware stocks that shot .5 MOA or better, even off of a bipod. You can easily modify your B&C stock to accept a barrel nut and a larger profile barrel if that's what you wanted to do. Basically, if you like your stock just keep it. Quick side note, have you tried upward pressure on your barrel at the forend tip to help with your groups? Most lightweight barrels I've had shot best with upward pressure or full length bedding the barrel. It's an easy test, just stuff some card stock (or business cards) between the very tip of the forend and the barrel then fire a couple groups. It can make a huge difference and it only takes a couple minutes to do. [/QUOTE]
