I just traded for this without the scope, rings, mount.

Rem 700 .308
Bell and Carlson stock
Wyatt outdoors detachable magazine kit with three 5 round mags
Timney trigger 1.5-3lbs

I've ordered:

Vortex Viper PST FFP 6-24x50 MRAD
Burris Xtreme low 30mm rings
Nightforce 20MOA 1-piece base

I like the stock, but have my heart set on a McMillan A5 in GAP Camo. I want something that is going to allow me to order it, open the package, and install the action/barrel with minimal of work done. Is this going to be possible without doing any bedding or whatever else people do? Stockys told me it would be a drop in, with possibly minor work fitting the bottom metal kit. If that is the case, is it something I could do carefully with a dremel?

I'm only shooting out to a max of 400 yards, with the average being 100 yards at this point.

EDIT: My other idea is dropping it into an Accuracy International stock, probably a 1.0 or 2.0.
