My Tikka t-3 Lite(blued/synthetic), in .223 Rem., is sub MOA accurate, and given
I have a Savage 16 (ss/syn), in .22-250 Rem, I can say that I would take the
Tikka synthetic stock over the Savage, anyday. My Savage stock was so rough,
I took my detail sander to it, and sanded it to where it at least feels decent.
Neither stock has enough flex to cause accuracy issues, by my experience.
I do have a fiber synthetic stock on my Howa, and it does feel, a bit stiffer,
but I see no difference in accuracy. The Howa is a 300 WSM, and it puts
168 gr. TSX bullets into .6 MOA groups. Both the .223 Rem Tikka, and the
.22-250 Rem. Savage get into the .3 to .4 MOA range, with several different
bullet/load combos. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I prefer
synthetic stocks, and if they do not effect accuracy, the cheaper, and uglier,
the better. This way I can treat them like tools rather than jewelry

.
So, the short answer is, I see no difference in accuracy between "cheap"
flexible synthetic stocks, and more rigid fiber stocks, in the rifles I own/shoot.
