.30 MOA rifle in original plastic stock

[Still Hunter]

rifle with .30 MOA at 100 yards in original plastic , would you bother restocking or with that nice of groups, just hunt with it?

I wouldn't change a damn thing if I had a rifle that shot that well

0.30MOA for how many shots, how frequently?

 

[Choupique]

You got a rifle that shoots 0.3 and you wanna jack with it???

Leave it alone. Doesn't matter if it's consistently three shot groups, consistently five shot groups, or consistently larger numbers of shots forming said .3 moa groups. It takes one shot in the field. If the first shot is consistent where you want it from the bench and the subsequent shots nestle in to .3 MOA each time at the range, the rest is burning bullets and powder and punching paper, none of which fills the freezer.

Yep
It’s not gonna hurt it
That is an accurate action and barrel with a good trigger man
Lots of reasons to change stocks most of which are not on the flat 100 yard range
If you pick one and for some reason it doesn’t shoot to your standard drop it back in the Tupperware

I was in your position with a super accurate rifle in plastic stock. A fiberglass/carbon fiber stock is stiffer and probably produces more consistent bipod groups, is a little lighter, and you can get a shape that fits you well, but that’s about it. In my case the money was well worth it, but if you like plastic stocks, nothing wrong with that.

This Weatherbyrelaoding trolling with three shot groups?

If I never shot past 100 I wouldn't do anything, otherwise, I'd shoot at my max distance and see how much the group opens up. Should be fine, but I'd verify.

^This.

How you can shoot a rifle in field conditions is magnitudes more important than absolute mechanical precision with all the time and get stable props in the world. I can shoot a lot of shitty stock designs into tight little groups on paper but sure like better stock designs i have to fight with less.

Also, as others have stated, a 0.3 MOA group doesn't = 0.3 MOA rifle especially if its a small shot count.
