I'll likely grab a Mickey or HS this summer... but for now this one is doing just fine for me.

KDK, you didn't even have to warm up the sand paper on that one Definitely a good way to get rid of 'em.

They should put a decent stock on them and float the bbl's. IMO. Me too ... but then I doubt you could grab them for less than $400 NIB on clearance.

It would be easier and cheaper to leave them out at the manufacturing end, so they're there for a reason. I see it the other way. With basic factory synthetics, it's easier and cheaper to mold them in than it is to make a stock of reasonable weight that can properly float a barrel without a big unsightly gap. They also have them in the wooden stocks. I'm sure if they enletted each stock to a specific barrel and action it might work but few folks are gonna pay for hand inletting in a box gun. All's I really know is they work well in my rifles.
Aim for the exit hole.

KDK, how's that thing shoot? Dan360 would probably be better able to answer that question... I only have one box of CoreLokts through it, and nothing with the new stock.

Man you've got too many to keep up with! I work out of town right now, so I get a fair amount of per diem. Whatever I don't eat is gun money. I don't plan on doing this forever, so I'm stocking up on rifles while I can.

i have a rem 700 sps 300wsm that i never shot with the factory stock. instead, i dropped the barreled action into a HS stock. it shot terrible, so i bedded it, shot better, but was still inconsistant. finally i bedded a "speed bump" in the HS stock and now it shoots the best it probably ever has.
