[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 214025, member: 505"] I would like to add to that good info that I have done a bunch of these and have probably ten right now to work on. These stocks are wbys cheapest. Doesn't mean their bad because some like them because they are lightweight. Not much strength in it though. Rarely will one shoot well out of the box because there is so much pressure against the barrel that can come from any direction. By freefloating the barrel and bedding the action most shoot very well for most hunting accuracy out to 500 or so yards. If not put the T bed and a little pressure on the front and that may do it. If not you have an excellent action to work with for a custom like the 338-300 ultramag if you wanted to step up. I agree they are the best actions for the ultramags because of their length and strength. Other than a custom that is. If you don't want it and you want your money back I will buy it. The 300 wby is one of the finest calibers ever developed for hunting and I would shoot it if I were you. For longer ranges you can easily get a 200 grain bullet over 3000 fps with a 26" tube.
