It came with a wood stock, but I put it straight away into a Savage laminate stock that came with a .22 bv. (now in a Boyd's). Although the 93 is a standard barrel, it seemed to drop right into the laminate stock and the bottom "metal" also fits fine on the 93. The barrel is fully floated as the channel was cut out for a bull barrel.
Working on sighting it in at 35 and 50 yards and after a half a box of shells, the shots are pretty random around the bulls eye and within about 5" diameter. I know this is not a target gun, but it must do do much better than this. Scope is a Tasco 2-10AO (mainly because I happen to have one not being used) and it seems to be mounted solid. It was doing the same thing with a Bushnell Banner 6-18 AO. All shooting was done off a Caldwell Matrix rest from a bench at at range.
I've never felt the need to bed any of my rifles but this is one option. Can't get the DIP metal shipped into Canada but perhaps machining a magazine plate out of 1/8" metal is another option. I'm guessing at torque re the action screws and perhaps this may be more important with the WMR than with a .22 LR.
Any thoughts from 93 owners who found one/a few helpers to get their rifle shooting a little better. Not into doing a trigger change at this point - it shouldn't really be necessary to get groups within a 1.5 " diameter.
