Frank--I'm of the opinion that in addition to the forearm area there is annoying flex in the stock between the trigger and butt of the stock--especially in the "old style" longer stocks. I also like to reinforce that area and it really isn't any harder to do then the forearm work--the only catch is that the flimsy lever tab for the buttpad will likely break in the process of removing it.

Another question: I'm of the opinion that the bigger the caliber (recoil forces) the more flex you'll get in the stock--so are your shot groupings as nice as this with your bigger caliber stuff?
