Again if the pressure is equal on all bearing surfaces - that is the way I prefer it... but if pressure on the forearm of the stock cause the stock to flex and push with unequal pressure spots on the barrel - THAT IS A PROBLEM... of course with the laminate that doesn't happen the stock RIGID. With a lot of the cheaper synthetic stocks they flex way to much. You will realy see the results of this if you go target shooting lay the end of the forearm on a bag press your cheek down flex the stock or lean the tip of the forearm over a branch to take a long shot - POI changes. With the thick ML barrels this is less noticeable than in thin CF barrels but it is there...
My thoughts as well, Mike. I wish an Apex or Kodiak owner would post a pic of theirstock so that a visual comparison, as opposed to a verbal one on my part, could be evaluated by readers.
I own both of these guns (Kodiak and Omega), but have never taken off the stocks. What am I looking at in putting them back on. Do I need a torque wrench? I have no problem taking the barrels off and snaping some photos if you guys give me the low down on getting them back together so they shoot the same. I know, I know, I have to take the barrels off at some point, and hunting season is over so what the heck.
