I got a patriot kryptek stocked 308. I live it out the box. I did add a 6-18x44 vortex a bipod and a comb riser within the first week but that's neither here nor there and I'll post pics. I liked it but after about 3 boxes of ammo by myself I could feel it in my shoulder. That and I wasn't getting great groupings but I assume a lot of that is my fault. The groupings never left a 12x12 Target at 100 yards though.
I wanted it to kick a hair less and hopefully take out some of the flex. Bedding for any other rifle would be the ticket. But it's synthetic and everyone screams getting a wood stock when ever you even mention you have a synthetic stock. I liked the Boyd stocks and for under 200 it's a great choice. But I like my kryptek stock. I don't want to build a new gun it shoots good.
After doing a little looking around I decided that no one has messed with a patriot in the way I wanted so I took it upon myself to do some changes.
I ended up putting two heavy metal rods in the butt and prepping and pouring epoxy into the forend. It stiffened up and I am happy to say after a few boxes I can't tell I shot. It still kicks but just hard enough to feel like a 308 but not hard enough to bruise or be sore.
I know I'm not a pioneer and I know it doesn't look great but it works for me. It's heavy and would probably suck on a hunt but I don't hunt I'm off a bench most of the time. Or prone.
I'll post more pictures and stuff but here's a few to see what y'all think.
