RE: Gun Stock Question?
Well, I'm gonna throw in my vote for HS precision. Absolutely love the aluminum bedding block in a HS stock. Never had an ounce of trouble with theirs. Everything about their stocks it first rate. They can also be ordered to any LOP that you wish.
I wouldn't even consider a B&C. I haven't installed a B&C yet that didn't need a considerable ammount of fitting. QC over there aint up to par.
Hogues are OK but I have seen a few that were warped right out of the packaging.
