[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 932055, member: 6452"] The SPS stock is absolute GARBAGE! Been there done that trying to use one with a bipod. Changed my POI by 6" at 100 yards. You can actually see the stock flex at the area of the mag well. The material is so thin there and there's nothing you can do about it. I gounged out the forearm and filled it with epoxy before I realized all I was doing was making a stiffer lever to flex the stock at the magazine. No way to keep the barrel free floated and use a bipod or any rest out towards the end of the forearm. Bottom line is there was no way to be consistent with the stock flexing like that. Any nice stiff stock will be night and day better than that tupperware garbage. Free floating it most likely will not kill your accuracy at all. If the rare chance it does you can play around with shims to find a pressure point that works. That is as long as your new stock is stiff and stays constant. I've always said you buy an SPS for the action and to have a barrel and stock to shoot on day one before upgrades can be purchased. [/QUOTE]
