cohofishing Report post Posted June 21, 2009 Hi, I ordered a Bell and Carlson Medalist stock for my winchester model 70 in a 300 wsm. I was wondering if anyone has used this stock or has any experience with one. I was told I ordered the right model but the deeper I dig into the net, the more I find that I might have to do some work to get it to fit. I guess I will find out when I get it. Cabela's has said I can return it. Any other ideas for stock for the model 70? Brent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted June 21, 2009 'Tis a good stock. I believe that is the model that I have on my .257 wby. I know I have a B&C, not sure on the model though. Not super light, not super stiff, but light and stiff enough. Good stock though. Of course, it isnt a McMillan, but nothing is! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoutm Report post Posted June 21, 2009 I put one on my model 70 feather weight and it fit ok. I went ahead and spent a few extra bucks and had Harry Lawson bed it for me. I really like the stock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjvcon Report post Posted July 9, 2009 You will still need to do some fitting and bedding to get it totally right. B&C is a lower quality stock than McMillan or H-S Precision ... the old saying of you get what you pay for isn't wrong, and even those need some fitting and bedding to be right. That said, the B&C is a much better stock than what comes on the Model 70 from the plant (injection molded plastic). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewp45 Report post Posted July 9, 2009 I just put a medalist on my Remington XLR. It has the cheek piece and it fits me like a dream. I went ahead and had it bedded 100% with 0 pressure. It went from shooting 1" groups at 100 yards to sub 1/2". You won't be disappointed at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
