Bell & Carlson Carbelite Stocks?

[PA BEN]

Anybody use one? The only stock I can find in a composit stock for a lefthand gun is this one without breaking the bank.

I haven't tried their Carbelite but I do have a Medalist on my Savage .308 and it really is excellent.

I have one on my Remington and it is nice but I did have do home shaping at home to get the safety to operate fully.  The thumbhole type is fairly tight fit on the hand and the bold when fully retracted is only a few millmeters above the stock.  I feel for a hunting quality rifle it is good enough.  My testimonial to the durability was I was riding about 20-25 mph on my motorcyle on a logging road and the cheap neopreme sling broke and I watched in horror as my rifle tumbled end over end about 6 times.  I cracked my rear scope but there was no scratches or cracks on the stock itsself.  I have a Blackhawk Axiom on a .308 that is really nice for the money as well.  it has adjustable lenght of pull like a AR stock, built in springs for recoil reduction, pistol grip  and floats the barrel.  It is a little heavier but for a bargin priced aftermarket stock I am pretty happy with it.  you can spend a fortune with glass bedding custom fit for your demensions but in my case these are off the shelf rifles for real world use.  I ordered mine from Stocktys and it took about 8 weeks as I wanted a specific camo pattern and needed the stock cut for a detachable magazine.

I would (and do) use them. I float them a bunch, like .075" and pillar bed them. They are not as stiff as an edge and more crude, but the weight is good and I like the feel. My original go-to bring home meat rifle has worn one for a long time. I would say it is a great stock for the money...but will need some finishing touches to get all its value to the target.

I looked into getting one for my left hand heavy barrel 700.  As it turns out, they don't make one that will work with the heavy barrel.  I ended up with a McMillan, but you're right... it was twice as much.

If you are handy on a mill you can inlet a rh to lh and fill the old cuts with epoxy and soda. You could do it with a dremel and files if you are careful.....good chance to practice smithing.
