These guys http://www.accurateriflesystems.com make XP-100 chassis so they might be able to help you out. I have never handled one but it might be worth a look.

You didn't like you Eliseo? That's odd
Just a fleeting thought. Might just wait and get a stock later on. It's doing good in the factory stock.
I've never been overly impressed with any aluminum stock for all out accuracy. I worked with dampening one a few years ago and it worked better than any aluminum stock I've ever had my hands on but I swapped stocks to make my two primary guns as similar as possible to one another. Both wear Borden/Adamowicz style stocks now. I do have a similar dampening system in the unlimited rifle, where weight wasn't an issue, though. It shoots quite well.

BTW, the difference in the aluminum stock before and after the dampening work was pretty clear, right away. So I feel confident that it was an improvement and it has to do with vibration of the aluminum vs wood or synthetic. The straight up aluminum stock shot just good enough to lose prior to the work. Not bad but enough that the improvement was unmistakable, imho. You'd probably never see it in a prs, tactical or hunting rig though, frankly.

XLR Industries may still offer one. They did in the past the “element”. Not listed now, but the drop down states “ not limited to these actions” or such.

If interested, I would email or call. He was using the same chassis for the Model 7 and the XP100. I think it was kind of a one off.
I have three Model 7's, two 223 Rem's and one 243 Win. The factory plastic stocks are worthless in my opinion. The one had a factory wooden walnut stock which had potential.
I have the two 223's mounted in B&C Medalist stocks with the aluminum bedding blocks. These stocks significantly improved group size and fit like a glove. There are essentially "drop in" design with little to no modification. Both are free floated.
The 243 Win is glass bedded in the Rem factory wooden stock and free floated and shoots fine.

O K will do.
All three on my Model 7's have aftermarket barrels, Douglas and Hart with larger contours.
The two 223's have one contour heavier than the standard factory while the 243 has a two contours heavier barrel.
I sanded the B&C stock forearms to retain the free-floating design of the stock. It didn't take much material removal.
The heavier 243 contour in the factory wooded stock took more effort but it fit fine. The action was then bedded.
They will probably tell you that if you modify the stock in any way, it will void their warranty. Can't fault them for that.
These B&C stocks are very stable (stiff) and the bedding block, at least in my case, helped reduce group size although it was the aftermarket custom barrels that made the largest improvement in group size. They also have an effective recoil pad.
These are ok hunting stocks but because neither the comb height nor length of pull is adjustable, these are probably not the best option for target shooting. Also, the palm swell and pistol grip do not provide an optimum fit for my hand but that's in individual matter. However, these stocks are significantly better, in my opinion than the factory "plastic" injection molded stocks.
As I side note, the best factory stock to date in my long shooting career at least for me that I've had is the new Tikka T3X with the replacement pistol grip. If I was starting over, my gun safe would be filled with Tikka T3X's.
The varmint model is exceptionally accurate.
Yea, B & C makes a fine stock no doubt. I have 2 of the M-40 s on my 700 custom builds and love the fit and feel of them. I prefer the M-40 over the H & S stocks hands down.They will probably tell you that if you modify the stock in any way, it will void their warranty. Can't fault them for that.

Appreciate the heads up Bro. Good info for sure.
