I am looking at buying this rifle. For hunting use, ranges from 10' to 400 yards.....mostly going to use a Harris bipod for longer shots. Does this stock need to be swapped out with something like a Boyd's stock?

Hi David,  Thats a great gun for the money.  I would suggest you not go the bipod route on this gun.   I would urge you to get a pair of adjustable height Shooting sticks.  They are much more versatile and allow you many different shooting positions.  Even a single Monopod that doubles as a walking stick can increase your shooting skill alot.   The bi pods add weight and bulk to your gun that is better left off if given a choice.  Good luck.

The stocks are not as stiff as they could be but inside 400 yards it may be fine. That not a long reach for that gun. I am looking at that model  My plans arr to see how it shoots and go from there.

I have this rifle and changing the stock out is a personal preference. Changing it out will not make it shoot better or worse. I would go and shoot it to see how you perform with it and make your decision based off that.
