Regarding plastic stocks of all makers:
If you want to see whether a rifle with a plastic stock will shoot to the same POI regardless of shooting position and sling/no sling, just take the end of the forend in one hand and the hold the pistol grip in the other and try to twist the forend or bend it toward the barrel. If it bends visibly, it probably will cause accuracy problems, especially if not generously free-floated.
Flexible plastic stocks move considerably when the rifle is fired and different rests or different shooting positions can adversly affect where bullets end up. People don't often shoot rifles at the range in all the positions they use in the field. They think that the bullet will always shoot where it does when rested on a sand bag, rolled blanket, or whatever. I've got news...it doesn't and the amount it goes off kilter is determined by stock stiffness and how it's bedded.
