Aftermarket Stocks

I have Mcmillan A5's on all my custom rigs, but am looking for a less expensive alternative to replace a cheap Remington SPS stock and a Tikka T3 Lite stock. I am looking at Bell & Carlson and HS Precision stocks....are these decent stocks? Are there any other brands I should be looking at in that price range? Thanks

Both of the Brands you listed are good alternatives to the factory. You might check out Stocky's Stocks for the best selection and prices I've found recently. https://www.stockysstocks.com/ . They also have their own in house brand.

Whatever I get, I want to have an aluminum bedding block....should I skim bed it with a bedding block?

May not have to. Shoot it first.

The Bell and Carlson is a great budget stock - especially for the Tikka. Red Hawk Rifles has a pretty good selection and great prices on Bell and Carlson and HS stocks.

I bed everything, and i feel thats easier without a bedding block.

I just ordered a Greybull Precision stock for my Rem 700 SPS 25-06...I love vertical grips and thought the extra $ would be worth it compared to a B&C Alaskan. I think I will order a B&C Tikka T3 stock though.

The factory SPS stock on the Rem 700 produced 14" POI change @ 680 yards between a loaded bipod and a sand bag front rest. (Both groups still 3/4 MOA) I am hoping this new stock will fix that issue.

I have a Greybull on my 30/375 S.I. that shoots very well. I have an H S Precision on my 6.5 Sherman and it also shoots very well. I just ordered Stockeys own Long range hunter model with alum. bedding which was just over $200. We will see how it shoots. Another really cheap option is the boyds laminated stock for $99. I have one on my 7 SS that is pillar bedded and although it is not the lightest, it shoots as well as any I have.......Rich

I replaced the stock of my Rem. 700 SS' 338 WM with an HS stock with the Alumnium bedding plate. It cut the felt recoil a lot from the plastic original stock. I have not had the caps off the scope since I zeroed the rifle about 2007. Take it out shoot 3 shots, go hunting. I do not have a bipod on this rifle. I can not vouch for the stock taking the stress of bipod. Good Luck in your selection.
