I added all new bottom metal from savage, added a 20moa egw heavy duty pic rail, a savage tactical bolt handle, vortex precision rings and a vortex viper hst 4-16x44 scope. The question I have is do I need to pillar bed and glass bed the boyd stock. Would I better off buying a bell and carlson? Also I have been thinking of a possible casliber change to 280 AI. Is this a good caliber or is there better options. Any help on information you could provide on any of this would be appreciated. I wish I could post pics of the gun but cant figure out the procedure. Please let me know how.
I would start by pillar bedding the Boyd's. If you go the b&c route you may still need to bed it, so unless you just like the look or feel of the b&c there is no real reason to change stocks.
