Default RE: stocks and accuracy...

ORIGINAL: mauser06

one day, i plan to restock my m700 SPS varmint...dont know when i'll get around to it, but like to iron out details, make wish lists and learn about stuff for my own knowledge...

i really like these stocks...

http://rifle-stocks.com/tactical.htm

or

http://rifle-stocks.com/tactical_thumbhole.htm

the gun is used for groundhogs mostly out to 350 so far, but wanna keep going on out there...usually shot off a harris bipod sitting or prone or set in bags sitting or prone...love my accuracy and sending the bullet where i wanted it to go...just dont know what stock configuration is more accurate, if either of them...the thumb hole or the bench rest style grip...is either way more accurate/consistant trigger pull than the other??

also, what things can/should be done to accurize the rifle if/when i get the stock? bedding? floating? etc etc...

bought the rifle as a right now varmint rig, but in the back of my head i knew it would be nothing but an action as time goes on...trigger is first on the list..then stock...then by that time i aughta be happy or ready to rebarrel it...

thanx for the info...just dont know if either stock style is more accurate that the other and what to do to the stock before putting the rifle in it..
Accuracy does depend a great deal on how your rifle is stocked. But NOT on the STYLE, but on how well the barreled action is bedded into the stock. And bedding for accuracy can vary from one rifle to the next, even if the barreled actions are identical in every way.
