[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 486822, member: 11717"] Yes, it would be good to skim bed the Medalist. You'll get some varying opinions on the Medalist vs some of the other higher end stocks like McMillans, etc., but IMO, from handling a few, they are a good stock and a lot of good rifles have been built on them and they cost half what a McMillan would and about 1/3rd what a Lone Wolf would. If I didn't have a limited budget, I would get a Lone Wolf. Anyway, IMO, any stock should be bedded to the action for the best possible fit, stability and repeatability. With the XCR, the first thing I would do is swap out that stock and put a Medalist or better stock on it. I would do this before I even shot the rifle. You could probably get a few bucks for the factory stock on Gunbroker or right here. At that point you can start shooting it and see how it does. At that point you can decided if you want to accurize the action. Something to consider is you may want to upgrade to a beefier recoil lug and have it pinned to the receiver before you bed the stock, especially with a big boomer the the 338 RUM. [/QUOTE]
