    Quite true and often forgotten, some people think a 1 MOA guarantee is more meaningful than it really is. With modern rifles its basically just a guarantee that it will be at least average (with a good shooter and ammo it likes).

    The hogue stock was actually one of the things I didn't like about the Howas I've handled - the grippyness was nice, but the fore-end was so soft and flexible that I could push it against the barrel easily with light finger pressure. Doesn't worry some people, but it would annoy me if I owned one.
