[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1171401, member: 50867"] The common myth is that any stock that comes with a stock rifle is somehow interior to custom made stocks. When making your decision, consider these points: Besides providing the shooter with a "handle" with which to hold and aim the rifle, the stock of the rifle has one function - it holds the action in place. A stock must be both sturdy and rigid. Some composition stocks can flex to some degree under recoil. The action must be securely bedded in the stock to support accurate shooting. A custom stock usually requires some degree of bedding; even with pillar bedding features (e.g pillars) that might be factory installed. It is no more difficult to bed the action in a factory stock than it is to bed the same action in a custom stock. I have factory laminated stocks and after market custom made stocks. All are good quality, all shoot very well, none performs any better than the other. [/QUOTE]
