I've had experiences with several of the B&C stocks. I'm not at all impressed. Getting one that actually fits is hit or miss. Based on my experiences the stock on your rifle is every bit as good as the B&C.

I cut one apart on a bandsaw a few months ago to see how they are made. Instead of using sheets of fiberglass cloth laminated together like the better stocks, B&C uses chopped up fiberglass (much like attic insulation) that is simply mixed in with the plastic before being poured into a mold. While they look good enough on the outside they are full of air pockets on the inside to reduce weight, and weaken the stock. It literally looks like a sponge on the inside.

The better stocks have the action area and barrel channel machined for a good fit. B&C pours theirs into a mold and hopes they fit properly. Two out of the three I've worked with did not.


Most people don't really want the truth.

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
