Default Longshot - Does anyone have a Remington 700 model B&C type stock??

Hey guys. I know this is a longshot, but I have a rifle that is proving to be very finnicky. It has a tupperware stock that I think may be the culprit behind the inconsistency I am seeing. Before I go bedding this tupperware jobby, I would like to drop it in a stiff stock with the best loads I have developed to see if it makes a difference. I know it's a heckuva longshot, but if anyone has a Rem 700 short action stock that is gathering dust that you would allow me to try, I'd be super appreciative.

I have a HS Precision sporter stock you could play with. It is/was bedded to a barreled action I don't have anymore.

I could pull the Greybull Precision stock off my 223 and let you try it.

Default Thanks fellas

Thanks so much for the gracious offer guys. Today finally resulted in finding the magic combo. 5 shots. 0.39 moa.

Moral of the story is do not write off a rifle easily. I was ready to until the code was cracked this afternoon.
