[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 915493, member: 22335"] Switching to a different stock. Seriously. Synthetic stocks are flexible and really don't allow epoxy to adhere to them that well. To spend time bedding them or adding pillars is akin to putting a lipstick on a pig - you still have a pig. Now, having said that some rifles shoot exceptionally well in synthetic stocks. I have a couple that do, so there is no need to change them. However, some are horrid and the only way to improve the rifle is to change stocks. If you're talking about a stock such as a B&C or McMillan and lumping it into the synthetic category then that's not fair. They benefit from pillars and/or bedding too. [/QUOTE]
