If the pix posted was from a rifle done by MPI, I would be surprised. There are alot of folks out there who claim to know how to properly bed a stock, but don't have a clue and then blame it on the stock. Sure, it's easy to drop your Remmy into a production run stock just like thousands of others, but then is it really custom? I'm not going to call your rifle or production stock "schitty" or say it's not worthy. I'm just not getting the discontent for MPI. You just have to get someone who knows what they're doing to do it properly.
