I recently put together a 6.5 creedmoor with a 26" 1-8 twist barrel from the outlet it was built on a .243 fxp action. I was having concerns with the mcgowen barrel as the best I could get was 3/4" groups at 200yds. I opened the barrel channel and bedded the original plastic stock and was kinda luke warm on the mcgown as my factory LRH 6.5 creedmoor will do 1/2" easily at 200. Bfore giving up on it I purchased a choate tactical stock. After the stock install my poa was 8" high at 200yds no other changes. It took a few shots to get on the paper! after I got on the paper I was amazed the difference that the choate made in the group size! It will now easily shoot 3/8" 5 shot groups!! with very little load work. And I thought the bedding I did was pretty good LOL. Never thought a stock would make that kind of difference
