Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles B&C mountain rifle stock

Ok, who has had 1? I am building a light weight 700 mountain rifle SA & thinking about picking 1 up

Not light. Nice hunting rifle stock for a GP/all weather rifle. They are thick- in the womanly way

Really - midway's website says 22-24 oz

There is a difference between the Medalist stock and the Alaskan you linked to.
The Medalist will probably be 38-40 oz.?

The Alaskan will be lighter, different stocks

Midway lies.

Check the reviews - one guy had 3 due to various QC issues and they were all 27-29 oz.

Well the bad review was from 8 years ago, hoping they do a little better today - yes I will change the thread title, it is their mountain stock

The Medalist has an aluminum chassis molded into the stock for strength. But that adds weight and is why they have to be so bulky. The Ti and mountain stocks do not have the metal inserts. They are somewhat lighter, but still not in the same class as an Edge from McMillan. Without the metal insert they are not a very strong stock. I've seen photos posted with them breaking at the grip from being fired. The factory tupperware stock is a MUCH stronger, tougher stock than the ones without the metal insert.

I bought one and the action holes were off so bad the screws wouldn't go in. I had to redo the entire stock in order to make it work. I would save my money and buy better.

Check Stocky's Stocks for the information. He has the Alaskan and another that looks like the Mt. Rifle version or a "Faux Ti" as Engwe says. Not as elegant as a Brown or McMillan but at almost half the cost it shouldn't be. If I was building on a tight budget or as a truck gun I would go with it.

Even the ti/ Alaskan stocks are not light compared to an edge, or a high tech, or a couple others- Which finish around 24oz. I’d rather have the weight of the chassis if I was going BC. I have had 3 BC stocks. Currently have none. Everything now is in micky, high tech, or wood. Have gone back and forth the last month on whether or not I might get another soon

Ive got one on a 6.8spc..it is only a tiny bit different than their Alaskan model, and it is REALLY hard to detect the difference...here it is...

I have 6 and they have all worked great.

I wrote that review - hard to believe its was 8 years ago. But in regards to the stock, I like them a lot but had a tough time with the ones I ordered from Midway??? Not sure why, maybe just a bad run of them?? I will say all the ones I've had where not as nice as the ones that came on the 1st Gen Ti rifles and then also on the Cabelas/Gander Mtn Guide rifles. Seems the ones they made for Remington where a bit better inlet overall versus the one they sell at Midway or Stockys. I have had better luck with the BDL version though, they seem to fit fine. But none of them weigh 22-24 ozs, at least not any of the dozen I've had.

I have one not assigned to any rifle and will weight it in the morning for you.

First generation Ti SA stock fitted with OEM pad and sling studs = 26.17oz.

This is my experience, but I have only one of them.

Hoping you will cut loose of it let me know where to send the funds

They're just OK. Fat wristed and still BC. I had 2 but would have preferred a McMillan MR or Compact. Buy once cry one. Doing that rig over would have been a naked Edge. Looks badass.

from the stockys website:

2950/51 ADL Mountain Rifle Models -
(this model requires fitting / for gunsmiths only!)
- Short or Long Action ADL only.
- lightest stock Bell & Carlson makes, but
- plan on spending some time getting it on right
- length-of-pull 13.5"; O.A.L. 30.5"

Also on this build I’m going from a 204 size bolt face to a 308. Smith says he installs a sako extractor to change the size, is this the best or just easiest? Was thinking about fluting & skeletonizing - maybe have them change the bolt face? Thanks
