Default Just ordered B&C Medalist, WDYT?

I just bought a Weatherby-Style Bell & Carlson Medalist Stock for one of my Remington 700's. I've heard and read many things about Bell & Carlson, but I was hoping that some of you might have some experience with a medalist stock and could give me some feedback (good, bad, or otherwise).

What are your experiences with the B&C Meadlist?

What are your opinions on the medalist?

Any word of mouth that you over heard?

Any and all information is greatly appreciated, please tell me What Do You Think?

By Weatherby stock you mean the "pimp stock"? I have had a grand total of one medalist..I think it is a very good stock and abetter design then the H&S precision. It doesn't require glass bedding if you are willing to torque the action screwsdown correctly. If not just skim bed it and tighten it normally. I had a custom 700 barrelled action laying around that I threw in one and it shot lights out with it and is very accurate. I would use a 700 design stock for a 700 action and see no benefit to the Weatherby stock design. If it has one flaw it is the weight , they are a little heavier then most.

im 6'7' and so the weatherby fits me better. When I shoulder the weatherby style, the line of sight down the barrel is higher because the shoulder pad is lower, so it fits a LOT better on me and i dont have to scrunch down low to get a good line of sight. As far as looks go, i dont prefer the looks of the weatherby, but it the design better suits my stature/build and therefore the stock functions better for me. Not sure what the "PimpStock" is, what does that mean? This is pretty much exactly what i will have, except with a 14.5 LOP. Thank you for your reply, your goood results are promising for me.
