That's an advantage in a way standard synthetic stocks are cheaper

To be honest I think the stocks get a bad rep when really they are not that bad. If you are loading a bipod correctly it is pulling the stock away from the barrel anyway.

All the ones I have set up for myself and mates (7) have shot very acceptably with factory ammo and well with handloads.
My .223 would regularly get 100. Scores in Deerstalkers f class with its hogue stock off a bipod, that's 10 shots into an inch bullseye.
Bedding it in a body's made absolutely no difference to accuracy.

I have however made all of them replace the rings, those Nikko aluminium ones that come in the package are junk, I have seen the screws pull right through the aluminium on two of them.
