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
Bob

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.

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.

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 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.
