So if anyone cares I found a couple 300s long range stainless in bend. Too far to drive for the wrong caliber. Apparently they have a note saying they're being discontinued. Weird.

What caliber are you looking for? Like five seconds ago I just saw that sportsmans in Spokane has them too.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I've been told in Sportsmen's and Cabela"s that their companies make big enough orders that sometimes they can order a "special run" of certain weapons for their respective company. That may be the case here?  :dunno:

Me personally, I would pass on any box ( long range ) gun that did not have a full length aluminum bedding block.  That is the first thing I look at.

That is one of the things I like about this one-it has that and the stock it comes with is spendy by itself.

That makes more sense than anything else. Apparently Sportsmens was the only store that has/had them in stainless.

That is indeed the case. There is a few brands that will do special rifles like that for stores like that. Tikka and Remington are 2 that I know have models that can only be bought at sportsman's.

I've never trusted those bedding blocks.  Instead I just bed every rifle.   A bedding block is no substitute for a good bed job.  Jme

That's sort of what I figured would be the case if you're really going for maximizing accuracy.

Do you automatically bed everything or do you shoot first and bed if needed in this scenario?

i just bed all my rifles. It's pretty easy and after you get a few under your belt you can do it pretty quick. Tons of videos out there on how to do it.
