Hi I am planning to go synthetic on some of my rifles. Most of all I want reliability and really don't care much for looks. I'm on a real nasty low budget and have been looking at stocks from Corelite, Ramline and Bell&Carson. Could any of you please help me with some first-hand experience on these ? Best reagard Per | ||

Bell&Carlson would be my choice. The other two are hollow, injection molded, similiar to Tupperware. They work just fine, but have a low fondle factor. B&C, on the other hand, are much better quality for not much more money. | |||

for the money Hogue is hard to beat, I've bought them on sale at midsouth and midway for 89 bucks on sale. They do just fine. I have B&C's and others, but I like Hogue the best. | |||

I recently used a Bell & Carlson Medalist stock with full length aluminum bedding on a custom .458WM Mauser project. It turned out great. I looked at a lot of synthetic stocks but liked the feel, looks, and construction of the B&C. I didn't want a front swivel stud as the rifle had a barrel band swivel. I called B&C and they said no problem and they would make the stock for me at no additional charge. In addition, the B&C manager, Dusty, said that I could get the stock cheaper by ordering it through Cabela's Special Product department than by ordering it directly with them. Great customer service by B&C. They will also make a custom LOP, standard is 13 1/2", I believe. It took about 6 weeks as I recall. Overall, very pleased with the product and service. RCG | |||
