I'm looking at getting a much better stock for it now.

I've recently done a Howa build in .308, like you cambo I eventually ditched the houge stock and replaced it with a Bell & Carlson one. Groups shrunk significantly & makes no difference shooting off bags or a pod.



Absolutely love this rifle & despite it's bulky appearance is surprisingly light...

Hope this helps

How do you like that mag kit?

Really good, it's all polymer which I like. Although some people do not like. Mags feed flawlessly so far... Rifle has only had 70 rounds through it so still early days yet.

So far so good!

Nice rifle Sasquatch.
How do you find the mag release? That's the only thing I have heard negative reports about. Mag release is easily bumped letting mag drop out.

I'm looking at either a B&C Medalist or a Boyds Pro Varmint for my rifle.

Thanks cambo,

Mag release is rather lite, they were the only negatives I read prior to installing the Legacy Arms kit. Relatively easy solution to this is to tighten the spring or get a smith to make a strong replacement for it and that will fix the easy drop out problem. So far it hasn't been a problem for me, feels just right.

Both stocks are very good stocks.

All the best you won't be disappointed
