Experience with Bell and Carlson DuraMaxx stocks?

I just ordered a DuraMaxx stock for my recalcitrant Savage/Stevens 200. Anyone with experience with this Bell and Carlson stock??

I have three. All were drop-in and feel very comfortable. All three rifles shoot sub-moa at 200yds on a regular basis.

I've got one on my current EDC and favorite rifle, a custom Shilen, pre64 70 .300
WM with 26 inch barrel. I was very askance about the stock when I was considering purchasing it from the guy who had it built. He said it was hard as a rock and, while I can't confirm that, the rifle shoots sub 1/2 MOA with good loads and has maintained that standard for several hundred rounds and heavy carry/hunting use as well as being banged around in a truck all the time. Based on that I think their top end products are worthy of consideration.

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.

The DuraMaxx came and I installed the Mod 200 short action in it. This was a drop in operation requiring only drilling one hole for the rear trigger guard screw. I ordered a steel one from Savage for $22 to cure any "compression" problems with the composite one on the original rifle.

Hopefully, I get get some range time in on Tuesday. Kudude
