[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 522453, member: 6452"] I highly recommend you replace your stock. I have a 700 SPS in .308 that I shoot 150 gr. bullets out of. Almost exactly what you are shooting. The factory plastic stock was absolute garbage. Tried firming up the forearm but realized that the flexing actually takes place at the thin walls along the magazine. I put a ton of epoxy up front but all it did was firm up the section that pivoted, all the bending happened behind the recoil lug. I made a new stock for it out of a couple pieces of Lyptus glued together basically a two layer laminate. What a huge difference. Gun does not weigh more than a couple ounces heavier but the way it responds to recoil is night and day. The plastic stock was like a tuning fork it jumped and vibrated so much. The new wood stock just pushes straight back. [/QUOTE]
