Picked up a stock rem700 action in a trade and am thinking of trying my hand at bedding it into a stock. I've got one of those plastic hogue stocks off a VTR I could play with that I like the look of. It's really flimsy and the action sits in it crooked so dremeling it out and bedding it would really help out cosmetically as well as functionally I'm guessing.
My questions are:
1. is there enough material in here to actually drill out for pillars?
2. With the action rock solid in the back of the stock but the front still flexy, am I going to get any accuracy out of this thing?
3. Is having to trim out a lot of the sides of the stock to get the action/barrel straight with respect to the barrel channel going to leave me with a really strange recoiling rifle? or lead to feed problems because of how 'high' the action will sit in the stock?
