[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 3037039, member: 108576"] I don't know but about 10 years ago I bought a Bell & Carlson composite stock for a Vanguard/Howa 300 weatherby mag to replace the Choat stock that came with the rifle.The Bell & Carlson stock looks great but with the aluminum bedding block it transmits so much recoil most cannot shoot it. I took a box of factory ammo with 180 gr Federal bullets and the recoil was way too sharp.I contacted Bell & Carlson and they said to get a smaller rifle.I't transmitted the shock to the shooter so badly that a young man who asked if he could shoot it had his shooting glasses fly off his head about 5 feet behind him.I put the old stock back on and I could shoot the rest of the box.I tried to put another action in it but have not finished. I HATE the aluminum bedding block idea.A regular well made stock can mitigate recoil just fine. I think I will re-barrell the 300 weatherby as the barrel is worn badly,not to 300 weatherby mag but something else and get an A G Composite stock without an aluminum bedding block [/QUOTE]
