Hey guys. Use to be a member here a few years ago. Purchased my rifle on here, but that was a few computers ago.
I currently run a Surgeon 591 with a Krieger heavy barrel in a McMillan A5 stock. The stock is an older model. The cheek piece wont stay tight and every 5 rounds I have to tighten it down again. I cant fix it in place because I need to have it down to remove the bolt. I'm looking to upgrade my current setup to the KRG Whiskey 3. My plan is to just do a straight swap. Nothing I have read so far makes me feel like I need a gunsmith. Am I missing something? Will it really be that easy? Remove my current stock and drop my barreled action into the Chassis? The largest OD of my barrel by the chamber is 1.25" but that appears to be ok from what I have read. It just seems too easy... If it matters I do plan to buy new. Gen 6.
