Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Which stock should I get??

Hi,
I’m going to replace the Tupperware stock on a Rem 700, sporter barrel.

I don’t have the budget for a McM or Manners, so it looks like either a B&C Medalist (aluminum block) or Grayboe Outlander.
I know the grayboe is heavier than the B&C. I’ve handled the grayboe by way of a Remington AWR rifle, but not the B&C.

Looking for the wisdom and advice from this forum on which direction you guys would go given my budget.

Thanks,
Stuart

Stuart, the B&C is a good fit I have one on a 700 LA weatherby style medalist easy to bed the action. They are heavy as well. I also have a MCM Game scout and I will go out on a limb and say there is a reason why they're more expensive.

Good luck and shoot straight

Another to look at is the HS precision Stocks

Being lefty, not as many stock choices, I have two with those stocks.

I have a couple 700 Medalist stocks. They are stiff and well shaped for a good fit. Not the lightest stock, but a good value if superlight isn't needed.

If a laminate is not out of the question, the Boyd's stocks are a good bang for the buck.

I have a like new Boyd's laminated "Prairie Hunter" model for a S.A. B.D.L. that I listed yesterday if your interested.

If you aren't going to a high-end high-quality stock, then don't bother changing out the tupperware. You will gain nothing.

Bed it properly, give it a spray paint job if desired, and get to shooting.

I'd take a B&C over a factory tupperware anyday. While it's not as light as a McMillan Edge, I've never had any issues with one and have functioned as well as any std fill McMillan I've ever owned.

B&C are a lot of stock for the money and head and shoulders above a Tupperware. HS, although not as popular, especially here on the Fire are a step up in quality.

Bansner, MPI, and Wildcat Composites are a great value, but will need bedding and finish whether you do it or have it done.

The B&C Medalist is a good stock, but if you compared it side by side with a comparable McMillan, I like the McM Hunter, the difference is pretty obvious.

If you can't afford the McM style that you like, I'd suggest looking for a 700 LSS-MR take-off stock for under $200 as a temporary fix. If you put aside $10 per week for a year, you'll have your McMillan in time for hunting season in 2018.

What does a BC offer that a newer cross-hatched tupperware does not?

I like the ergs of the B&C Medalist better than the factory injection molded stocks. The only 2 Remington factory installed stocks that I particularly like are the 700 TI and 700 LSS-MR.

Less plastic, more rigidity.

I have new Grayboe Outlander in black for a 700 Long BDL on which I will make you a very good deal.

Save your pennies, sell some stuff, or both for a McMillan. You won't regret it.

That's just it. I've not found that to be true at all. The BCs that I've had are just as flexy as the newer Remington stocks.

This. Buy once, cry once.

I agree, B&C has not impressed me positively...

Just bedded one of these on a 700 LA 300WM. It was straight and true, and very easy to bed. Rifle shoots better than it did before.
