I received my B&C stock Friday. Very nicely done, excellent fit and finish. Hope to get it to the range soon.

So, anyone have a real world weight for that stock yet? Not the advertised weight, but actually putting it on a scale.

thanks.

Sorry, I didn't weigh the stock alone but the pictured rig with scope weighs 7.5 lbs. The same rig with the original wood stock weighed just over 7 lbs

Just weighed mine...took the scope off, and gun with rings/bases is exactly 6lbs, 8oz. Just wouldn't want to add weight if it is heavier than the factory version.

16bore - thanks a bunch for this. Been looking for a metallic replacement for the factory unit and now I've got two (2) options. How about a lead on magazines that don't cost a kidney? Homesteader.

I wish they offered the colored shrouds though, at least they didn't last time I checked. As for the mags.....ugh. If you could open the top of the receiver and ditch the mags ala ADL style, it'd make me happy.

Where's that damn dremel tool......

Does anyone with this stock have any more detailed pics of the recoil block area? I would love to order one up for my Tikka .300 wsm hunter. The current Aluminum block is beat to crap and my accuracy is terrible with this rifle because of that. I'm wondering what kind of metal was used in the B&C design and if I'll have the same problem with this magnum caliber.

I've got a .223 varmint that shoots lights out but the recoil is far less on that weak aluminum block Tikka supplies. I'm hoping this one is hardened or even stainless.

Count me in for that Varmint Model B&C as well!

You could pull out your block, flip it over and re-insert it. Torque the front screw to at least 45"in lbs or so.

The one from page 1 is pretty good. I'd be curious to see how the stock woulda done with just the recoil lug and pillars, ala Ti Mountain Rifle. Bet it would shaved quite a bit of weight. Do the lug in titanium and you could have some extra shizzle..

Did that and it still sucks. I'm not a fan of Tikka's in the magnum calibers. The design can not handle the recoil abuse.

Yep, I think I may start there. I have a friend who will machine me a stainless block to match my action and I'll pillar bed and devcon it and be done. Be a good first time bedding project for me.

I just received my Bell & Carlson 1042 Tikka stock and they really hit a homer with this stock. The bolt up is perfect, this stock fits like a glove with perfect margins in the barrel channel. I am very pleased.

I have a 338 win mag and the overall weight with no extras and factory magazine in place with the new stock is 6 lbs 7 ounces.
