Doble Troble Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 I haven't used a non-wood stock yet, so I can't help there, but I have had both a 25-06 and multiple 6.5 x 55s. I still have all of my 6.5 x 55s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimranger4 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I ran across a B&C with the aluminum bed at a gun show. I really like it. It seems to fit very well. I just had to do some minor barrel channel work and it shoots excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritz Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 " want one that is allready fully bedded with a alluminum bedding block." The Bell & Carlson stocks are good, but ain't it better to bed YOUR action into one rather than a factory bedding to a sample action? Just a simple question from someone who beds his own, but I know that the pillar bedding already installed in new stocks is pretty damned close to perfect. So it would be easy to adjust to perfect. fritz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
724wd Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 fritz gives good advice... start with something good (bell and carlson) and make it better (bed it yourself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trobi Posted August 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 i agree with fritz but i have not tried my hand at glass bedding or free floating a barrel. would hate to scew up a perfectly good stock. would anyone be willing to glass bed for me. i will probably by a cheapo stock and practice but right now unable to manipulate fingers to good due to bad arthuritis. kingsman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doble Troble Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Is the issue stock too good to sporterize? If not you have your cheapo practice stock. Richard's microfit had bargain seconds (last time I checked) at really low prices. I got one a while back and it was better than expected - a real bargain. Bedding isn't too difficult. IIRC Steve Wagner's page has a method outlined. Get yourself a cheap stock, a heavy-duty NSAID (and some Prilosec to go with it) and get busy. With patience you'll do a great job (and without it you learn a lot and probably still wind-up with something pretty good). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
