Re: Choate stock flexing?
Ok, forgive my crudeness, I'm not an artist and not very fimiliar with paint on my pictures, but this will maybe help with what I am talking about.
Now, I was talking with a friend and we discussed, whether this would make any difference in accuracy. We also discussed whether it would make a difference if it was being shot from the bipod, which is the anchor point in front of the stress point and whether it would be best to shoot from a bag with this stock as it is.
So if you set the gun up on the bipod, put your hand on the front of the stock, the lower arrow, then put your other hand on the barrel, the upper arrow. You hold the front of the stock down and push up on the barrel. You can see the stock flew in the area I have circled! There is substantial movement in the barrel!
I am concerned and maybe I should not be. Yes I know this is a cheap stock, but I don't see why this problem exists. I am contemplating filling in the recessed areas inside the stock in the circled area to see if this helps, but I don't want to waste my time and money. If the general consensus is to replace then I will attempt to sell and replace with a B&C or MCMILLAN or something. Thanks for you time and info.
