Heard anything about the BC "light Tactical"?

scratch that... it's got a huge foreend and grip too.

Anyone used one of these? B&C's version of the M40 stock... the comb looks nice.

All pics below are the factory BDL-V stock..... I prefer that stock to all others. The forend isn't too wide, it has a nice high comb and pronounced grip.... perfect for all-around use.... except for the fact that it's wood. I believe McM has it in their line-up as well.....

I have one sitting here for a S/A BDL.... it has been experimented on... and it ain't pretty...... but if you want to stick it on your rifle to see how it feels, PM me an address and I'll send it over the mountain..... just send it back when you're done. Your rifle should drop right in.... if it don't, feel free to dremel away.....

Tanner, here are pics of my HS stock that started out as a PSS. The area in the photo the marker points to I filed down and back to allow my thumb to sit back further and lower. I plan to take some more off of the left side of the grip. The lower part of the grip needs some more cosmetic work. The indention behind the front swivel is where I had a flush swivel cup at one time. The barrel channel is factory, just for reference. May give you some ideas if you don't sell your stock.

I went through these same "portability" issues with mine when I got it. after much thought and inner turmoil, I decided to leave the 700P as-is. If I need something similar but more portable, I would want both a shorter barrel and a different stock. I, personally, would end up with an SPS Tactical and the Bell/Carlson M40 stock.

Tanner, if you are going to chop the barrel have you considered an HS LTR stock, they are fairly trim for a heavy contour barrel and HS's prairie grass camo looks good.

Where can I find an LTR stock?

You can buy them direct from HS Precision, I can't remember the model number, it may say in the model description on their website, if not just give them a call. The LTR's are nice IMO.

I think it's PST 086

JFC maybe if H.S's entire website wasn't out of stock it'd be easier to see! Wow!

Try Stocky's.

That one? Looks like the one I just sold?

I don't think the pic is of the 086, pics have a palm swell, in the description at the bottom it says the 086 doesn't have a palm swell and is suited for short barrels. I've handled an LTR before and it's definently not shaped like the PSS and not near as bulky. I would buy one my dam self if they came in long action.

Ahh, I see. That sounds like a pretty badass little stock. Might have to give that a shot.

Another vote for the LTR handle. If you look hard enough, they can be found online very reasonably. Of course, you can always buy one new from HS.

I have an SPS Tactical stuffed into one...kind of a "faux-LTR". I LOVE the way it handles. Handy from field positions, sticks, and off-hand, but steady in the bags as well. I'm considering a 22" build in 243 or 260 based solely on this stock.

How much does your rifle weigh in that stock?

I'll weigh it tonight

Tanner , I went through the same process on my beater 308. I wanted a more packable rifle capable of extended range. I started out with it in a six enterprises stock and wound up putting it in a LTR stock.The LTR stock provides a much more stable platform and in the end thats what matters most to me.If I cant pack it around I probably have bigger issues than my rifle weight. If you want to try the six stock pm me and ill send it to you.Its the top one , I call the paint Antelope puke green. Haha

BC, I ended up going with a Manners MCS-T. Thanks for the offer, it looks like you've got your rig nicely done up.

That 6 stock looks like a pretty nice shape.
