Just wondering what’s out there to dress up and improve the rigidity of the Forend on my howa 1500 300 win mag with varmint (medium) barrel? I’d really like adjustable cheek weld and length of pull in stock if possible. Has anyone done a howa 1500 with mag action?
I’ve never done a replacement so not sure e exactly what to look for or pitfalls - so I have some obligatory stupid questions like - does the existing floor plate mag stay in most chassis kits or do they completely rehash that somehow?
Are certain chassis outlawed by appearance laws?
How do the GRS, MDT and similar kits stack up as far as Forend flexgo? Will they be a definitive improvement? How will they handle 300wm recoil?
Do some “stocks” not come complete ? Ie I have seen some stocks / kits state that the grip or “stock” or comb sold separately - this can get confusing?
How hard is it to bed new stocks - is it something a numpty can achieve with appropriate research?
For those that have done a serious upgrade - is it really worth it ? Or should I find awAy to stiffen what I have - glass reinforcement or similar?
Sorry for all the dumb Q’s.
I was always going to do something like this sooner or later and an opportunity has arisen that has allowed me to do something sooner
