Remington 700 SPS Tactical with Magpul Hunter stock

[TigerFan]

I am considering buying a Remington 700 sps tactical in 6.5 Creedmoor with a Magpul Hunter stock. Do any of you have this setup? Did you have to bed any part of the stock or was it sufficient without it?

Thanks

I just started shooting a Rem 700 clone in a Magpul Hunter stock. So far (just 40 rounds in), I haven't seen the need to.

Thanks Jepp. I will read it

I bought the Magpul 700. My Zeiss does not have much in moa adjustment so I had a hard time getting a zero at 100 yards. But that is behind me now.

Have you reloaded for your gun yet? Curious what oal it likes. My other Remington 700 likes the jump to the lands. This one appears to only have around 2.8" to the lands.

Planning h4350, 140 gr Nosler ballistic tips, fed 210 primers.

Thanks

Assuming this was for me?
All I shoot are reloads. I'm currently concentrating on the Berger 105 VLDH. I recently ran Berger's recommended seating depth jump test. https://bergerbullets.com/getting-the-best-precision-and-accuracy-from-vld-bullets-in-your-rifle/

I shot 3 vs the 6 they recommended. I have never jumped this much (except when shooting 32 gr in a 204 Ruger with the .100" freebore). So it really felt different. But that said, here are the results.

Thanks, looks like your Remmy likes the jump too. My Savage loves the bullet jammed in there. My Remmy is just they opposite. Glad I got into reloading last year. Been fun and educational
