I have a blued 20 inch with a synthetic stock that shoots 'okay' but nothing to write home about. I added a B&C stock hoping that would help and it didn't seem to make much difference in the accuracy but did add some weight to the butt end which is not a good thing in the M7 in my opinion. The stock is a bit thick and the rifle just doesn't balance all that well to me with the short thin barrel. I really like the idea of the short light M7 but will likely either rebarrel mine with a slightly heavier barrel or trip it at some point. The key to a light rifle is balance and stock fit in addition to light weight and this is where the Montana has it beat in my opinion.
