My Vanguard 6.5-300 has a really stiff factory stock that is “bedded” tight to the barrel. It’s a tack driver and I’m not messing with it. I have a 7mm Weatherby Mark V that came with a flimsy injection molded stock that only shot so-so groups out of its 26” barrel. I put on a Bell & Carlson composite stock with the full length bedding block and it shoots tight groups consistently.
