I have a stainless stalker and wonder what the general impression is regarding the factory stock. I am getting some inconsistant shooting and was going to bed this stock. Being my first bedding job and it being a synthetic I am thinking it may not be a good idea for a first time try. I am wondering if most people find these to be very good factory stocks or should I replace with another model - maybe with just a touch more weight and less hollow feeling. It is only a 260 but it has a bit of snap to the recoil because it is so light. I am looking at a Bell & Carlson Medalist or one of the Accurate innovation wood stocks, perhaps a laminate. All of these have aluminum bedding blocks already built in. Would love to hear from someone who replaced (or decided against replacing) the stock and why.
