Matt Normansuggestion for stock for Mark X
I have a Mark X in .308 that is shooting erradic. I'm certain it's a bedding problem with the crappy synthetic stock that looks like the previous owner bedded it with play-dough. I have an ad in the Classified section looking for a used/take-off stock.
If that doesn't produce results anybody have a suggestion for an after-market finished wood or laminated stock? I will have it properly bedded. How about a drop-in synthetic...anybody had good results with a particular type. Price is an object as I don't want to hang a 500 dollar stock on a 350 dollar rifle, (aka chrome-plating a turd).
I have two of the Hogue Over-moulded (full bedding block)stocks and like them, but thought I'd open this up for some fresh ideas.

I would try one of the
Accurate Innovations stocks. I have had very good luck with integral bedding blocks (Bell & Carlson), but I have come to enjoy wood mre than plastic.

lofterwish I had a good digital cam and I show you my accurate innovations "chrome plated turd". I got mine purdy well optioned out at $450. But i'm sure performance with just their standard stock will do quite well. Can't help I'm an accuracy freak and a wood-whore all rolled into one. If you go this route you won't be disappointed. Excellent craftmanship go into their stocks.
