My thought was to take a Dremel tool with a sandpaper wheel and use that to open up the inletting. I do like the feel of the stock, and Hogue is about 15 minutes from my house, so they are readily available. I'd like to hear how you bed and deal with relieving the rubber on the Hogues. 008 whilst doing the indicator bedding check, the rifle shot well and the 3 and 2's were gone. In a rare display of forward thinking, I had also brought along an H&S Precision PSS take-off stock I had laying around and bolted it up. I took it out and shot it and got the typical bedding issue 3 and 2 groups. I've never had to remove rubber during a bedding project, so I was a bit flummoxed. spite cussing, chanting, drinking, and an animal sacrifice, I could not get the bedding right! There is a high spot in the action inletting caused by the rubber overmolding that resisted all my attempts to do away with. I'm LMAO at you championing the Hogue Overmolded stock! Wherethehell were you last week when I was fighting with getting the bedding right on one of those suckers? First off, the barrel channel was crooked which annoyed hell outta me. hopefully at least get an argument started
if you don't mind carrying the gun by the scope and are shooting squeerrells off a 'pod, they do shoot. Downside of course is them dangling pendulous scrotum magazines. I dare say their overbuilds combined with a glued in AL AI chassis is as stiff as a solid bottomed stock. Thy fatten the sides enough to compensate for the hinge-point generated by the massive magazine cutout.Feedback from the bipod or forend position very repeatable.
I've done some magazin'ed and chassis'ed repeaters using their over-built, extra-layered, reinforced sideplates build and they shoot like a singleshot. (I'm exaggerating, but it is heavy)Īs far as McMillan contenders? IMO only Manners of the currently available stuff is comparable.
but the stock alone weighs as much as some mountain rifles. I have built one rifle on Stocky's new M50 "proprietary high fiber blended composite" (particle board) platform and it meets all my criteria as far as stiffness, feedback and consistency. You might as well be shooting a pillar bedded laminate. They do shoot, really shoot, but they're heavy.Īll other brands containing aluminum "Accu-Blocks" are a complete waste of money because the "Accu-Block" does nothing. These two entrants are THE ONLY TWO other than the Savage AccuStock which fulfill my accuracy criteria. These two stocks are designed such that the mechanics are in place via the aluminum block, then the companies surround the platform with a composite or molded rubber handling surface. It's heavy though.Īnother wikkid cheap option is the Hogue Over-molded rubber stock with the AL bedding block, bed same way. Bed it carefully and conventionally as if it were a McMillan. The recoil behaviour/movement of light weight rifles is different to heavy rifles, it is therefore so much more important to have the physics in order on a lighter rifle if one wants the accuracy of a heavier rifle.This may not be useful for Justin, but for all you'se guys reading.IMO, as regards ACCURACY the most bang for your buck in var/tac environment is the HS Precision with AL bedding block.
#Bedding action in synthetic stock free
No reason why a sporter barrel can't shoot, all that I ever had or came through our workshop shot very well free floated bedded. Bedded many plastic stocks that worked quite well, certainly better than without bedding. I can't remember if we ever bedded a 85 so can't say much about how to. Some of the glass fibre will be half in the plastic and half sticking out which will create a physical bond even if the plastic is "oily" such as PE/PP types. If the plastic contains glass reinforcement and I am sure Sako stocks do then some sanding will help key the epoxy plastic connection. Bedding an injection moulded plastic stock is not the greatest thing but not impossible. Would you rest the barrel on something when shooting? The only reason why gun manufacturers pressure bed is to straighten a crooked stock to the barrel and have an even barrel stock gap. Any Pressure on the bottom of the forend will be relayed 1:1 into the barrel on a pressure bedded rifle. Changing pressures will change the way the rifle shoots. The thing with pressure bedding is that the pressure is not consistent.
