Quoted: I'll be getting a 700P soon. I was initially going for the LTR, but, I think I'm now leaning towards the PSS in .308. If I get the PSS, I'm going to change out the stock for the Hogue bedded block version for the reasons you stated. I'll keep the H-S Precision stock for a later project or revert to original. You might want to keep the stock... How do you like the 7mm Rem.Mag. in that rifle? I've got a BDL in 7 and love it. I imagine the hvy.bbl. tames the recoil a bit? Good shooting.

I have a LTR in .308 It is a great rifle. The factory HS stock on it has NO palm swell, slightly wider then normal forarm, and it has been shortened slightly to accomadate the shorter bbl. It's my favorite rifle to shoot, and will shoot 3/8 moa with the right ammo.
My 7mm has a more recoil, although i have been wearing a shooting jacket with it so I don't have a sore arm the next day. The heavy bbl keeps it down a bit. I have gotten .5 moa out of it with hand loads. I havn't found any factory loads that will shoot sub-moa yet. I'm looking to switch the stock out on it so I can make it my long range elk hunting rifle for eastern oregon. I'm going to have to look into that VS stock and see if that's what I'm interested in...
HS has a lot of nice stocks on their website, and some of their color schemes are great!
Thanks for all the replies.
