Appreciate all the advice guys.

Rifle has had an atlasworxs alloy dbm fitted recently but nothing else. I've got a yodave trigger spring on the way as its literally 10x cheaper than a set trigger and I think it'll serve me just fine.

Now for a controversial topic. Glass bedding and pillar bedding.
Extremely mixed reviews on the subject.

Now, ive found pillar bedding kits complete with a slightly larger than standard titanium recoil lug. What are everyones thoughts on this? And next, bedding the action.

Can it be done? How can it be done? And most importantly is it worth it? I know cause of the Tikkas reverse recoil lug setup it's a different ballgame than regular setups.

Once again any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Cheers for the help guys.
It's predominantly a hunting rifle so perhaps I'll steer clear of vld's as I've heard they don't expand ( as they aren't supposed to) therefore not providing reliable knockdown on pests/game. I've been told they pass straight through leaving 2 small holes for the animal to bleed out from.

Whatever round I choose will need to be available in ballistic tips. Does anyone know of any hunting rounds in .224 over 65gr?

Will definitely think harder about which twist rate I choose.

Thanks again. Will keep you updated.

I've also had the same issue. Except the first will fly where it wants and then two will be touching. Next shot has a mind of its own again.

Sanding down the stock to allow actual free floating fixed it, but i also changed to high quality mounts and scopes at the same time so i can't say for sure what did the trick.

Sounds like the free floating part of these rifles can be slightly hit and miss. Just as well its a cheap and easy fix!

S**t! Just realized there is a dedicated section for stocks and other bits for sale. Apologies. Admin please move

I have one of their wood sporter/varmint stocks.
Absolutely awesome bit of kit. Had these been out when i got mine I may have gone for one.
Whats the price of them in relation to the wood versions?

Thought I'd add a few things so everyone is on the same page. I realise its a lot smarter financially to buy a better platform but not only am i already past the point of 'financially efficient' the rifle was a 21st present so it has huge sentimental value. Therefore selling it is not an option.

Have had thoughts of going to a faster twist to handle heavier bullets, then have the extra barrel length to help make up lost velocity  ( if that even works). I've read a lot of mixed reviews on the difference it actually makes but the general consensus seems to be, yes it does add a little velocity per inch of barrel.

Once again, look foward to hearing from everyone
