[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1013522, member: 78569"] I went through the exact same thing you are going through with a 700 but I ended up have major problems and sent it back and got a new gun. What I found out on my path was that stiffening up a SPS stock is about as good as getting a B&C medalist. I got a bedding kit and made pillars out of the bedding compound and roughed up the inside of the stock really well and bedded the whole action. I also stiffened up the fore end with carbon fiber arrow shafts surrounded with JB weld. Cheap and was on par with the B&C I ended up buying hoping that it would change things. Working up loads brought the beast to 1/2" MOA. I have another gun on a synthetic stock and it shoots sub 1/2" MOA so I know SPS type stocks can shoot well. If you go B&C, I recommend get a tactical stock model as they do not flex at the fore end. I'm going HS Precision on my next build as I hear they don't flex at all and are a bit lighter. I skim bedded my B&C stock and it was very easy. [/QUOTE]
