[QUOTE="fiftybmg, post: 1731301, member: 96316"] Accuracy by definition means the exact same result for the same sequence of actions. The purpose of the stock is to hold the action, and to avoid interfering with the barrel - hence the popularity of free floating. A cheap injection moulded stock will not be able to hold the action as rigidly as a laminate. Plastic is soft. Action screws are steel. Steel deforms plastic much easier than laminate. Movement of the action relative to the stock means accuracy is not possible. Securing a cheap plastic stock in a holding device will not prevent the action moving relative to the stock, so cannot give you accuracy. The stock makes all the difference to absolute accuracy.
