I bought a ramline injection molded stock. It is very light and the rifle shoots okay. I just wonder if it is possible to bed the stock to take take some of the flex out of the it. This is the only drop in stock that I could find for a 788. Any and all advice will be greatly appericated.

Some epoxy a metal rod/tube parallel to the bore in the fore end; arrow shafts, also, to the same effect.

Tincan is right.. carbon or alum arrow shafts are very good for this.

I have a 788 with the same stock and glass bedded it with a alum arrow shaft in fore end she well keep 5 shoots in 3 inchs at 300 yards.

P dog could you post a picture of what yall are talking about. Are you the one that told me you had a 22 250 in the 788. I think the thread was about the trigger.

My 788 is 2100 miles away at this time.

I don't have a 22-250 788

When one wants to stiffen the fore end one needs to put locks in the stock to hold the glass bedding in place. I drill shallow holes in the stock. I then add glass bedding to the fore end channel and place a rod in the bedding.

There are several threads on how to glass bed here just do a search.

MPI stocks in Oregon used to make fiberglass 788 stocks.

Thanks Frank I called and left my number. If I can get one there Then I can play with this one to see what I can do. I have plenty of time but very little money. Funny how that seem to work that way. I'm retired navy.

No problem, glad to help.

Coincidently, I'm an ex-Nuc bubblehead.

In that case you should know what the MDV stands for.
