While waiting for some reload components to (possibly) come in, I revisited my 300 wby magnum which started life as a Weatherby Vanguard First Light, but later transitioned to free float stocks in an MDT chassis and a Bell & Carlson. The MDT unfortunately could not accommodate a wide enough magazine for the 300 wby mag cartridge, the Bell and Carlson is a nice stock but I still got some annoying flexing with it even after I did some additional bedding around the receiver. Sometimes I got MOA and a bit under--sometimes not. The action and barrel parts of the gun are very well made, so I don't think much needs to be done there. I've noticed most of the flexing in the stock occurs at about halfway point on down the foreend from the lug.
I finally said the heck with it today and drilled out a straight channel down the middle of the forend and filled it with devcon. I ran into a couple of small aluminum cross pillars but not much else.
Hope to see if it helps (or if I ruined it) as soon as I can.
