Even then it only causes a slight shift in POI, its not like it causes the bullet to suddenly impact the target a foot away from your point of aim.
    Yeah but it's redesign that's why it's an extra $350!

    Yup...I had assumed the OP was referring to the 11/111 model (with wooden stock) when he quoted the online price he had found.

    Thx for the link
    The stock does what it is supposed to. It's a handle on a gun and it shouldn't detract from accuracy. This one fits the bill.

    The barrel channel on these stocks is large in relation to the barrel. It takes an effort to make lateral contact. You aren't going to have any issues with a bipod causing any touching.

    How did the stock on yours not serve well as a handle or how did it hinder accuracy?
