Yes, Melvin's stock is the best but looking for a more cost effective option b4 he gets the job. Has anyone used a Bansner Sheephunter or the new lightweight B&C successfully?

Spring for the NULA stock.
It is obviously a perfect fit, and a pretty good value. I think it was around $450. Less than an Edge or a regular McM for that matter. Are the Bansner's that much cheaper? Don't they come unfinished too?
I have one on a CLR in 7RM. The original stock isn't bad. I hunted it for years before getting the NULA. Big improvement.

NULA is the best choice. You could adapt a Ti Alaskan from stockys for a cheap alternative but it will have a fair amount of bedding showing.
MPI will get close to the weight of a NULA stock but will probably cost more when all is finished.
The NULA stock has the best stiffness to weight ratio of any stock I have handled. High Tech and Brown come close but not bettering the NULA. Have not seen a Manners stock so don't know how that compares.

...and if you send it to Mr. Forbes it's going to come back with a perfect full length bedding job and the paint you request. It's the best deal going.
