    Reading reviews I am leaning toward the Bell&Carlson Light Tactical Medalist. On back order currently from MidwayUSA

    I bought mine from Stockys they are cheaper and you have better chance of getting it.

    I just ordered one that is supposed to be delivered tomorrow from Redhawk Rifles. They just got a shipment of them in last week. Give them a call even if they don't show in stock on their website.

    +1 for HS Precison take-off stocks

    If you're patient and look around the Internet, HS Precision stocks pop up in the $200-250 range

    I picked up a HS Precison stock from a Milspec 5R

    You could also look for a LTR or 700P takeoff, but I feel the 5R stock is perfectly proportioned for a 20" barrel

    I found an HS stock. Its already been bedding. My concern is fitting another action into a previously bedded stock.

    Any input to this guys?

    From what I've been told, if it's the same action then you can set it in the stock, torque to spec, and shoot some groups out of it. If shots are not grouping then you might have to get the bedding job adjusted by a smith. The one I bought was skim bedded, so I'm told that it is cheaper to get adjusted.

    I'm sure there is someone on here with a lot more experience than I, who can give a much more informed answer though

    That does look really good. The 700P stock is longer so the barrel only clears it by 4 or 5 inches, so it does look a little odd. I'm going to add a Badger Ordnance Thruster Brake which will add a couple inches, and I'm hoping it will look just right at that length.

    To ensure proper bedding, the old bedding must be removed, and a new bed job performed.

    Stay clear of already bedded stocks?
