Looking at Brownells, I am considering the Bell and Carlson "Classic" and "Carbelite"(the one with negative drop) and the HS Precision model. The rifle is a 700 BDL in .308 Win.. I will put a Burris Compact 4X in low mounts on it. It is a hunting rifle, not a target, tactical or varmint gun. Any suggestions? Experiences? Are any of them truly "drop in"? Thanks for your input. -- Doc

The HS Precision is my choice and with the alum bedding block they are "drop in" BUT SOME/MANY still benifit from a coating of glass on the alum beddding block due to specs of the blocks and actions having tolerance ranges that may not give the most solid contact....the HS has a very good reputation and the McMillan is the one I hear as the main challenge to the H/S good luck and good shooting!!!

I had Hart rebarrel a Rem 700 for me in 308 for a hunting rifle with a barrel slightly heavier than the factory barrel and in 24 inches. I put it in a HS Precision SA ADL stock. Works great.
