I guess it is important to bed the action if the stock requires it, i would avoid the stocks that require bedding, i accept people are individuals so each to their own.
If you look at stocks like AICS or even one of my favourites the MDT LSS the action bolts in with no bedding required, i like the MDT LSS the action/trigger/barrel can be removed by undoing 2 bolts in however long that takes individuals it is a lot cheaper than the AICS.
The stocks are getting better, i prefer metal over wood, i reckon i could make a balsa/cedar/epoxy/S glass one with maybe a few carbon and kevlar areas to add strength for carved/shaped pistol grip, stock that would be light,nice to look at with clear honeycomb balsa and cedar, it would be waterproof and strong as i have built sailboats from the same material while trying to resolve 6 tons of compressive stress from the mastbase so could even have an alloy bed built in so could be removeable with 2 bolts.
Try google for strip plank cedar canoe to get an idea of the final finish.
Nah a lot of work i would probably just buy another MDT LSS chassis.
