Default Who makes a good thumbhole stock?

I have a .270 Remington 700 BDL. I want to replace the beat up wood stock with a synthetic thumbhole. I've looked online at Bell and Carlson stocks. Anybody have any experience with these? Any recommendations on brands? I want a stock that is fully finished. How hard is it to replace a stock?

I don't have any experience with those, but I do like the way they look.

Try http://www.mcmfamily.com/mfsinc_n/index.html

I love the way they look also, but again, I have no experience. The reason I don't is that they are both very expensive. I've always had a hard time spending more for the stock than I do for the rifle or the optics. Anyway, I'm not rich by any means, so check them out for yourself.

Boyds makes excelent laminates.

Bell and Carlson are junk IMHO. I have personally had way too many that did not fit and had to be sent back.

Any good one that you buy will need some fitting-it is that simple. Look at the Richard's Microfit. Tom.

I don't know anything about these but have been dreaming of one. I tried a thumbhole that happened to fit my arm very well. Icouldn't believe how well I shot with itand now I gotta have one.
