I put a Bell and Carlson Medalist Classic synthetic stock on my JC Higgins model 50 FN action M98 rifle (light contour factory barrel). It is well made. I has an aluminum bedding block. Installation was easy. Needed to remove some aluminum between the trigger and rear of mag area (10 minutes of dremel and file action).
It feels good in my hands, and aligns my eye level well for a low mounted scope.
I bought it from stocky's stocks. about 2 years ago. $200.

I liked there service, and value enough from stocky's, I just bought a laminate stock from them for my S&W 1500/Howa.
