Kinda guessed it was the pod/forearm causing the problem. As I previously said, a lot of those cheap stocks just don't do well with anything attached to them. I'd just about bet if you just took the pod off you would have had the same accuracy as you got with the new boyds stock. Those cheap stocks are designed to handle just the weight of the barrel down on your hand. They just aren't made for weight hanging off the bottom. Glad you got it fixed up for your wife. Good luck.
