My vz24 action barrelled to .264 win mag is forthcoming from the gunsmith. I am now on the hunt for a propper stock for this new venture. I have a levle ton of bass pro points and they sell B&C stocks, I have been leaning to a Hogue overmolded or a boyds laminate, however the idea of getting one for points and no out of pocket is appealing. Can I get opinions on these stocks please?

Hogue overmolded or a boyds laminate

I just mounted a Hogue on a 270. The fit and feel were great. The couple of Boyds I had in hand had rather large inletting gaps

I have a FN Mauser 264Win that I put a Hogue overmolded stock on and have no problems with, but I have handled the Bell & Carlson Carbelite stocks and like them also. I am a fan of synthetics as they are impervious to moisture as well as solvents.

I sugjest you look at accuracy inovations.
The houg is rather heavy. The Bell and carlson medelist with a good web type finish would be my preference over the houg.
Plain black stocks just don'e excite me...tj3006

those using the hogue are you using the full length bedding block model?

My Hogue just has the pillars.

I have the Hogue overmolder with the full length bedding block on a 338 win mag. I love it. It shoots better than I can and on this rifle a little extra weight was welcome. The recoil pad is also very high quality. It seems people either like em or not. I like em. DW
