[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1717172, member: 24284"] That's kinda' the way it is. There used to be company that offered wood that had a bedding block that were basically "drop-in", but I don't recall their name. They were more expensive than a lot of synthetics. It was obvious they were machine made just by their shape and the 'bedding' was always over-sized so you had that 'drop-in'. Classic wood takes time and a reasonable amount of skill, neither of which are low cost. I pay more for a blank than what a Mc will cost. But I end up with a 'classic' stock that doesn't have a bunch of gaps and handles like a fine rifle should, besides being nicely figured. Have heard "that's too pretty to hunt with" a bunch of times, but that's what a rifle's for, to hunt with, not be a safe 'queen'. [/QUOTE]
