Point taken.

The reason is that you can use the velcro shims that come with these stock packs to 1) give you a precise natural sight picture with the scope and 2) provide a comfortable cheek weld while 3) avoiding the extra weight that comes with all the extra adjustable cheek hardware.</div></div>
That point taken too.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: KLin@GAP</div><div class="ubbcode-body">You should not require full skim bedding on the AICS, but our standard Templar actions are about 1/4" longer on the tenon than the Rem 700, bolt handle and side bolt release will have to be relieved and the port is slightly longer so it's not a 100% drop in compatible.
most of our Templar/AICS builds will come with recoil lug bedding only to fill the previous lug channel.
regarding the KMW cheek, its not retro-fit-able--requires different stock shell.</div></div>
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but my GAP rifle was built using a Remington 700 action - so if I'm not mistaken - it should drop right into an AICS.
As for the KMW, stockdoc (on here) said he could retro-fit the McMillan stock. Maybe he didn't understand exactly what stock I was wanting to retro-fit, but I think he saw a pic, so IDK. I'll hold off that for now and try out the $50 Triad Tactical as opposed the $175 loggerhead retrofit.
This is MY rifle, and nobody else will be messing with it - so I guess I don't need the adj. cheek!
From the aforementioned posts, and from general consensus gathered throughout this thread, I think I'm going to stick with the McMillan for now. If I just can't stand it (unlikely), then I'll look at other options.

How much would that cost me if I ever ended up wanting to bed my GAP barreled action in an AICS (or other) chassis?
