As mentioned in other threads. I bought a Bell and Carlson American stock to replace the factory wood.


Old specs LOP 13-7/8”
9.4 pounds

New 13-11/16” LOP
9.0 pounds even.

I picked this less than flashy color because I thought it remotely resembles elephant hide.

Now to find a peep or red dot sight for it.

For some reason, the wood and the synthetic stock look lighter in color than they really are
 
You should try out that rifle on your next elk hunt with us! That would be interesting!
 
my team wants to bow or ML hunt and back at the Stormy camp :>)))
Last year I didn’t even break out my Recurve because I was helping my son-in-law trying to get an elk.
In fact, the last two hunts in your camp I never carried a weapon. I was always focused on helping somebody else get their elk.

So I could do the same thing, take it and leave it in the tent :>)))

Mmm....trying to work the difference in length from 7/8th to 11/16th..... :X3:
 
How do you like your B&C stock when shooting compared to the factory stock?
 
I like the design, texture and the ability to customize it. It’s got aluminum pillers and does not need any bedding work It won’t crack from recoil. It’s the same stock CZ used on the American 550 model

It’s a .416 Rigby The barreled action dropped in perfectly. Remember, this is the exact stock that CZ used and sold. Usually green with black webbing.
 
Is the LOP standard from B&C. Or did you have it shortened?
 
Love that stock is it Bell &Carlson?
The difference between 7/8& 11/16 is 3/16
AHR has a new non QD base sets the Red Dot much lower. I modified one to work on a Heym Martini express
 
It’s a B&C stock that I had customized with the elephant hide print
 
The nice lady at B&C will help make sure you have the right stock

Here's the target for the NorthForks - 25yds off a bag, iron sights. Hunting leopards over dogs the range won't be more than that.

Flew in an airshow in Smyrna years ago, beautiful country.

Best regards,

Franco
