AICS stock and accuracy???

[JC Steel]

I bought an AICS 2.0 stock that I will be putting on my Rem 700 and am wondering if this stock will (could)hurt or improve accuracy(maybe stay the same)? I know from reading some threads you can get some better accuracy from stocks by bedding and getting a better quality stock. Some advice and experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks-Jake

generally they improve accuracy... but bedding them makes them even better in my experience. I've bedded 4 of them because they didn't fit just right as a drop in. It just takes a skim bed.

Take the skins off and see if there is light between the recoil lug and chassis. Also take turns torquing the receiver screws by themselves to see if there is play in the action.

Bedding one kind of defeats the purpose. To each his own!

Terry Cross skim beds them...good enough for me.

GAP beds mine as well, a very small pad in front of the recoil lug.

I had actually inquired w/ Flounder at GAP about it some time ago. I guess it's a good piece of mind while your rifle is there to get it done. One thing is for certain; it doesn't hurt!

I had my AICS converted to left hand by Cactus and the guy over there told me I really need to bed it. Bought "Steel Bed" from Brownells, anyone here ever do a homejob?

I think I'm gonna try it.

When you do try it let us know how it turns out. I have some decon which I might use on mine.

Try it without anything and see what you get. Then bed and see what happens.

Hey Mike,

Can you post pics of your bed job? What is a 'skim' bed vs regular bedding? I started a l thread here for my AICS home bedding job:
