[QUOTE="outofayr, post: 496291, member: 13568"] +1 on the Medalist. I have a Medalist on a VZ24 Mauser in 6.5-06AI and love it for a carry rifle. Drop in fit fir the 98 action and no bedding needed unless you just want to. I have a Richard's AA Claro Walnut on a Kar98a, and spent around 5 hours shaping and inletting before I could start to finish it. Pretty wood, but ROUGH from the factory. I also own two prefinished laminates from Boyd's. Drop in fit on the action, had to do a little work on the trigger guard inletting since I use aftermarket trigger guard instead of military, but that held true on any of them. Most seem to inlet for military bottom metal. The Boyd's needed reinforcing, bedding, and relieving around the tang to prevent splitting - they even tell you some of that with the instructions that come with the stock. Bottom line, you won't be upset with the quality, fit, or feel of the Medalist if you go with it. YMMV, BIDI, Brian [/QUOTE]
