If you ask the guys on 24 Hour Campfire they will say Bell & Carlson sucks. They seem to only like McMillan, but those are over $400. :o

If the price is right and it fits you well, a Medalist is just as functional as any of the other stocks out there. :tup:

With my set up, I have very little movement between the stock and the barreled action. I recently spoke with a gunsmith about having it bedded. After a good conversation, we agreed that why fix whats not broken. The only thing I have done is free floated the barrel. I made sure I could slide a business card all the way up and down. I know the rifle can shoot 1/2 MOA, so why change anything on it now. The only downfall on this stock is the low cheek piece. Other than that, I love it. Pluse I only paid $90 for it. :tup:

If anyone needs a good gunsmith who's quick, let me know. He was done with my rifle in less than two weeks. I was pretty happy for not having to wait long.

I just got mine back from the gunsmith Tuesday. It's now glass bedded and he took out the pressure point so the barrel is free floated. I'm going to shoot it tomorrow and see if there's any improvement. The barrel is centered in the channel now instead of being tight to one side, so I expect it will shoot a lot better.

What did that cost? I'm thinking about doing the same thing and would be interested to see if floating had any impact on accuracy.

B@C does not stand behind their products. Its a very long story but i will never buy another one of their stocks ever again. Some guys get lucky and their stock fits great and others...not so much. HS precision is by far a better company to deal with. There are alot of stock manufactures out there do your homework. You get what you pay for.

I'm not worried about the warranty. I just want it it shoot better. The gunsmith said if it still isn't shooting how it should, to bring it back and he'll add a pressure point.

Bobcat im sure your rifle will shoot better. They had a problem with the angle of the bedding block on Weatherbys. Stcokys told me that they had numerous returned that didnt fit. Unfortunatey my smith took off to much to begin with to make it fit. I sent it to B@C and told them that i knew that my warranty was void but please put an action in it so they could see the issue. I got a "nothing is wrong it fit great" we put it in three actions and the same was wrong with each. they make a nice product but wont fess up to their mistakesI just got mine back from the gunsmith Tuesday.
