Last month I tried the 145gr MTH out , just didn’t pan out. Tried both seating depth they recommended , just wasn’t getting the results that rifle was capable of. Not sure if the free floated barrel was causing some accuracy issue , I dug out my loaded box of Federal Fusion loaded with RL-26. This load shot extremely well in the factory stock and this one too.
Knowing the stock isn’t an issue being free floated , I’ll have to go back to the drawing board for the 145gr MTH.

Didn’t do anything to the stock , so yes it is fully free floated.

Bringing it back and adding my 280 AI ultralight. I bought a blem stock for 299 knowing it would need a touch of work to finish. It mainly had epoxy that had to get scratched off, but there was one crack near the butt stock. Got the verification that it was good to go, so I slapped a little bit of devcon like bondo and sanded over the crack. Then used Alumihyde I had kicking around on the shelf for years. Very happy with how it all turned out, the rear trigger guard solution they have is terrible, but I used a bigger bolt to be able to actually hold under any light torque. 7 lbs 5oz all set up to hunt.
