Changing stocks...the same rifle.

[LRCampos]

My question my sound strange but it is how I may understand the practical difference in accuracy between two stocks on the same barreled action, as I can not make a practical test because these stocks is not available in my country...

Well, my doubt is based on an situation:

- You have a HV Benchrest rifle on a F-Class classical stock, like a McMillan F-Class stock,for example) it shots around 0,25 using a Benchrest pedestal. Now, you switch the F-Class stock by a Tactical/Sniper style stock, may be a McMillan A-5,or the AICs, for example).

1- What is the accuracy decrease you may expect with the A5 stock?

2- If you shoot both from a bipod,assuming you installed a Harris bipod on the F-Class stock and the Tactical stock), the accuracy difference is bigger,or not) by what amount?,as the 3 inch forend of the F-Class stock is of no use with a bipod)

Sorry if I could not present my dilemma clearly. I am trying to get a stock for a HV barreled action that I can compete on F-Class and Tactical styles match, and would like to know what is the difference on accuracy that I may expect between these two stocks styles.
I have no way to actually see with my eyes any of these stocks before import.

Thank you for any help!

Great question,

I was wondering the same as I have a laminated A-5 and I think it's going to be 6 months or so before I buy a bench stock.

The flat on the butt of the rifle seems a little to wide for my DR bag, I don't really want to have them modify it because I will eventually shoot a bench stock off of it. I like the looks of the Tooley MBR but haven't had a chance to shoot one.


Good luck,
