2 of the 3 have the Savage Model 12 Precision Target Action, and the 3rd has a Stevens 200 Action.
Maybe these folks had horrible Actions, or really bad stocks, but my experience is that the HS Precision stock is a PERFECT stock for the Savage Action right out of the box.
Here's an idea... put it together and develop a load for it. If you can't get below 0.4 MOA with that combination, maybe you'd want to think about a skim bedding. But I seriously doubt you will get any better perfor

All the best, and good shootin'
