[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 527481, member: 30902"] No need unless you just want one. A decent gunsmith can do you a great trigger job with what you have alread. Me, I'd save my money and just buy a good Bell and Carlson or similar stock that has the full length aluminum bedding block. Check [URL="http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=0h&oq=stocky&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGLL_enUS356US356&q=stockys+stocks"][B][I]Stocky's [/I][/B][/URL][B][I][U] or[/U][/I][/B][URL="http://www.stockadegunstocks.com/stocks.html"][B][I] maybe Stockade Custom Stocks[/I][/B][/URL] . Factory weapons generally have lower tolerances than you will get with custom rifles. As those tolerances add up errors increase and accuracy decreases. We have some members here who are gun builders and custom gunsmiths who can do that or see if there is a quality gun smith in your area who can do it. Cost varies from a couple of hundred to five hundred or so. Then it's got plenty of life left in it. Most factory guns have a pretty sorry crown on them and it is cocave or bubbles out to the front. A good target crown is usually 11-13degrees and concave or curved inward slightly. The crown when done properly greatly reduces buffeting as the bullet leaves the barrel by directing it down and out rather than out and all over. Ask yourself how much you want to spend and then prioritize. At a minimum you want to do a good free float and pillar bedding, along with a target crown. That alone may/may not solve your problems. Personally I hate factory stocks so one of the first things on my list with any new rifle is to get a stock I like that fits me well with the full length bedding block and free float and then go from there. The 270 isn't noted for being a heavy recoil beast ( [url=http://kwk.us/recoil.html]Recoil Calculator[/url] ) but if it has enough recoil to make you flinch or just to make shooting less than enjoyable you might consider a good muzzle brake as well. Keep in mind though that all muzzle brakes make the gun louder, and depending on which direction they vent the gasses and hence the sound can be loud enough to be tough on anyone shooting beside you.
