Not bad for a 2 contour at 24". What does Melvin charge for a stock?? Why didn't you have him bed it for you?
I think the stock was $473 shipped.
Benchmark and Forbes talked about the contour and shank length, so me, being a cheap bastard, thought I would save the $$ involved in shipping the action across the country. I guess the talk between Forbes and Benchmark left some margin for error. I also don't like shipping stuff around at this time of year. Lots of packages and things get lost, driven over with forklifts, stolen, mis-routed...
I'm gonna think long and hard before I do anything with that screw.
My 264WM wears a 29.5" Lilja heavy fluted barrel. Nice to shoot - not to carry. This one will be the opposite.
