I haven't. I usually do my own. Not hard at all.
A good trick for heavy barrels or any for that matter when opening up the channel on the stock is - I use a dowel rod wrapped in sand paper to get the correct fit.
I would rather be tried by 12, than carried by 6.

I think you would be better off putting the money towards a Mark V Lol I wish. Gun =$2500 Then a new scope = another $2500

There a lot of stocks out there that have aluminum bedding in them and are drop in ready. Just check and see if it tells you anything about the bbl channel or call and ask the mfgr

No you don't need a gunsmith, many reputable stock makers build prefit stocks, I have a bell and Carlson on mine it's about a $250 stock, check on redhawkrifles.com for a good selection.
If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

How much you looking to spend. I have been very satisfied with my Mcmillan A5
Only accurate rifles are interesting.

The MK V uses a B&C stock. I had to replace one a while back and got it cheaper direct from B&C rather than buying from Weatherby as a dealer.
If you go the B&C route, you will not need to bed the action.
If you just want a wood or synthetic stock that requires bedding, it's not hard, just use plenty of release agent and plug ALL holes, nooks and crannies with modeling clay. Once you plug everything up and apply the release agent until you think everything is covered, coat it all again.
There are two types of gun enthusiasts ... Those who have been F#CKED by PTG and those who will be!
