I just read an article about a gunsmith in College Station, TX who had something to do with developing the Marine sniper rifle. He believes the stock has a lot to do with accuracy. A wooden stock swells and shrinks depending on moisture. A synthetic sock does not. I read that he carves out a wooden stock and creates a fiberglass bed for the receiver and barrel. Supposed this improves accuracy.

Uh.. yeah glass bedding has been around for a reeaally long time now and is very common and does improve accuracy. Also there are different types of bedding materials including, composites like fiberglass and metal. Metal beddings are less susceptible to wear and tear. Ask a military sniper that has to go in by parachute or fast rope what they think of old fashion glass bedding.
