Nice choice on the scope. Was the factory stock so bad you had to ditch it right away?

How do you feel about the barrel length? I realize it's mainly a bench rifle but it seems like a 26" heavy barrel would be a little unwieldy.

Tupperware stock that comes on the FV is about like the equivalent of Glock plastic sights; cheap and flimsy as possible. Almost impossible to glass bed these. The aftermarket stock has aluminum V blocks that act as pillar bedding. I thought about also skim bedding recoil lug, but with groups like these I'm not sure it's necessary. With the old stock I could squeeze the fore-end and touch the barrel; wasn't consistently getting much better than 1 MOA.

I filled the hollow place in the grip with lead. The whole rig weighs around 16 pounds, which I really like. It's certainly not a gun I'd like to carry down in the woods for huge distances for deer hunting.
