I know there are several guys here with experience with various composite stocks. I just picked up a Greyboe to replace the composite stock on my VSSF Remington 700, I'm not sure who makes the factory stock HS or B&C? The reason for the replacement stock was the rifle barrel oscillated up and down pretty badly in the factory stock. I mounted the barreled action into the Greyboe and fit was perfect, so I went to the range to see how it would do. To my surprise the barrel ossilates up and down just as badly as the factory stock. The rifle is very accurate and maintains the same point of impact with either stock mounted. So I am wondering if this is just a trait of composite stocks?
I took the factory stock and bedded it to my 16" heavy barreled 22-250 and it seemed to help, but did not cure the occilations completely. I have not bedded the Greyboe yet, because if it is always going to oscillate during firing, I will return it and go back to wood stocks.
All shooting has been done off of either Harris or Sinclair bipods. So, what are your thoughts on composite stocks? Thanks, DH
