I've put the barrel and action from my Remington 700 ADL 30-06 in one of these. I put it in the week before last but was trying to use a bad scope with it. I couldn't get a good zero with it and thought it was the stock's fault. I put a new Nikon Buckmasters 3 x 9 40MM scope on the rifle and finished zeroing it today at 100 yards. I shot my handloads with a minimum charge of RL-15 and 150 gr, Hornady FMJBT bullets.
I got an amazing group with it so I'll leave it alone. The group was just on the left of the bullseye and was about 5/8 inch. I'll post a pic of the target tomorrow. I'm having trouble getting used to the recoil and watched a video where the guy said to put your hand on top of the scope tube towards the front. That helped a lot. I was shooting from a Caldwell Deadshot Field Pod. I have a Limbsaver on the stock and I'm taking a long time between shots to try to do everything perfectly (as perfectly as I can).
I really need to go the distance and put a Timney trigger on it. I think that's in the near future.
Bottom line...I love this stock!
