I replaced the ugly synthetic stock on my .300 win Ruger 77 stainless with a laminated stock. I did not finish the inletting but took it a gunsmith and had him glass bed it, pillar bed it and free float the barrel. The only other thing I had done is replaced the trigger spring with a 4 lb. made and sold by some gunsmith. That rifle would shoot near one hole groups at 100 yards after all that. It was extremely accurate before changing stocks but after was amazing.

I guess my point is glass bedding, pillar bedding and free floating the barrel works.
