If I decide to re-barrel my rifle from regular commercial fluted barrel to a heavy barrel (gunsmith would do it), would I also have to replace the original stock if the stock is a polymer one. To be more specific, if I decide to replace the fluted 300 Win Mag barrel on my Tikka T3X with a heavy 300 Win Mag barrel, do I have to replace the rifle stock. My version of the rifle has True Timber Strata stock, and after replacing the original grip with a pistol one, I love the ergonomics of the stock and would love to keep this stock if possible. Yesterday night I calculated that, with the rate I am shooting this rifle, I will have to replace its barrel in about 12 months (will reach usual barrel life-span). Since I love heavy rifles (I do not like idea of light rifle), when the time comes I will go for a heavy barrel.
