[QUOTE="bear prince, post: 922864, member: 36781"] Hey All, Been reading on this site for a long time but haven't posted much. Lots of good info on this site, so thanks for all the info I have learned about up to this point. I am in the process of building my dream gun, a 338 Norma Mag on a Rem 700 action for long range hunting and target shooting. Nothing will be sweeter than connecting on a moose or brown bear at a grand or more. Everything is ready to go, just waiting for my Fat Bastard muzzle brake to be installed. So I need some help with stock choices. I presently have a extreme long range shooter in 308 on a Rem 700 with a Bell & Carlson Medalist Remington Varmint/Tactical adjustable stock which I built first to work on my long range shooting skills. Lot cheaper to practice with. I am quite pleased with this stock. This gun shoots about 1/3 moa for the most part but when I do my part and the stars align it shoots even better. The only complaint I had with the stock was the palm swell. It was a little big for my damaged arm (mountain bike accident) so I had to shave it down a bit. Fits great now. With this new build I have been toying with the McMillan A5 or A3-5. Lots of people like them and you get cool guy points when you own one. What I'm looking for is people that have owned both the B&C and McMillan and to find out which one they liked better and why. Even if you haven't owned both I would like to hear what you have to say about either. The other question I would like to know about is rifle chassis systems. I know very little about these and would like to know if they are really as good as the companies claim them to be. I would also like to know what are the better/best ones and why. No matter which route I go with my main goal is to have the best stock. When I say best stock I want to know which one is the best at helping me as a shooter and which one will squeak out every last bit of precision and accuracy out of me and the rest of the gun. Comfort is also high on the list. I am not interested with cool guy points, if the stock helps me as a shooter and it has cool guy points thats just extra gravy.
