RE: Bell & Carlson stocks?
I have one on my Remington 7 mag. Get the stock with the aluminum plate. Should help with any recoil related cracking. These stocks are heavy though. Mine was easy to install and shoots 3/4" groups at 100 yds. I agree that they are a little rough but if you're looking for a rugged stock at a good price I think you'll be happy with the B&C.
