Thread: Rifle Double Grouping

Pulled the action out of the stock to have a look at what's what in there.
Didn't see any marking that would indicate the recoil lug was moving about. But what I did see is the recoil lug in the stock is only plastic. The only alloy/metal in the stock is the pillars for the action screws. I doubt they are doing much apart from stopping the action bolts crushing the stock when doing up.
Plus the stock is very noticeably flexible when the action is out.
I think I might just get another stock as I think doing anything to this Hogue stock will just be a waste of time.

So I'm now on the scrounge for a better stock. Like the look of the Boyds Pro Varmint stock. Haven't seen much else out there for the Howa rifles unless it's a bull barrel, and my rifle isn't.
Suggestions much appreciated.
