[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 933480, member: 12995"] Any professionally built rifle, in a properly bedded HS or B&C stock, and torqued to proper specs should shoot just as good as the same rifle in a $1,000 stock. That's like saying you're instantly a better shot because you have a NF or S&B on your gun, compared to someone with a Tasco or a Simmons... If a rifle shoots, and the scope holds zero, it can be just as deadly as something that costs 5x as much. Now, I am not putting anything down...I'd LOVE to have a fully decked-out custom rifle in a $1,000 stock, with a NF sitting on top, but that's not in the cards. I'd rather get by on decent glass and having more deadly-accurate custom rifles built, than have 1 or 2 really nice rifles. I like caliber diversity, and I like wildcats... And on my income, it doesn't allow me to have a NF sitting atop each one of them. God knows I wish it did... But sometimes we have to play the cards we're dealt. And if my smith can build rifles that shoot sub-1/8 MOA groups on a B&C Medalist or HS stock, then by-god I'll keep saving that extra $750 towards the rest of my build and a nicer scope. His hunting rifles will literally put 5 inside of the SAME hole (I've seen the targets), and he uses HS Precision stocks. And when I say SAME HOLE, I mean, the edges aren't even feathered...They literally are passing through the same exact hole in the target. [/QUOTE]
