[QUOTE="jpfrog, post: 489300, member: 32525"] Hi all- I've only recently found this site and I have to say, I'm amazed at the quality and quantity of info on here! Thanks to all that contribute! On to my question... I'm building my first LR rifle- a Rem 700 in 300 win mag. I ordered a Krieger #6 Heavy Bull Sporter with a 1 in 10 twist, getting a timney trigger, and having my smith blueprint the action and handle the headspacing and barrel work. I also plan to get a stock w/ full length aluminum bedding, then have it glass bedded for extra insurance. My question is around the stock- I like the subtle look of the hunter style, since I'll be using it mostly for hunting and don't want a rifle that screams "High $$ spent on this so I think I'm awesome" when I go to the range. I like to lay low, and let the groupings speak for me, once I've practiced enough to let them speak positively that is. I'm not saying that a tactical stock makes all people seem that way, but there are a couple of folks at the range I go to who have a reputation, and long story short, I simply like the subtleness and feel of the hunter style stock. I really like the look and price of the B&C Medalist in Tan w/ Black Web. The weight is appealing too- 30-34 ounces sounds about as light as I can get. I don't know if this stock will work with my barrel though- a dealer on another site says yes, but when I called B&C they said I need a varmit style stock (but the person I spoke with sounded VERY unsure of what she was saying). B&C is available at Cabelas, though I'd have to have it special ordered- but I can use my gift cards there, which saves my cash for buying good optics somewhere else...and I need all the cash I can get for optics. Anyone have experience with B&C, or other stocks, and the #6 Krieger Heavy Bull Sporter? Am I over thinking this and should just get it, then let my smith find a way to make it fit? He's an excellent smith- I know he could do it, but I like to over-analyze every component before I buy it....thanks in advance for your help. [/QUOTE]
