Re: Anyone use one of these stocks?
I own this stock and it is excellent. I originally bought a fully adjustable but after handling it decided I needed niether the adjustment or the weight. I sold it to a Hide member and bought the non adj and have been totally satisfied, it is very strong and comfortable.
There IS a comparison. Several years ago a member here (cant remember who) conducted a very thorough comparison between an A5 and a B&C with the full aluminum bedding block, the B&C compared very well. The site had some sort of a crash not long after and lost a lot of its files, havn't been able to find it since. Not saying its better or worse than anything but I am saying that the B&C tactical is a very good stock and compares to many of the best.
Several weeks ago a few got in a Les Baer bashing contest here, cant remember what the thread was originally about. The target of most of neg. comments was LB's new Tactical Recon rifle and one of the main bashing points was the fact that LB decided to equip the rifle with the ("POS") fully adj. B&C tactical stock instead of a Mac or Manners. Bout a week later I get my August issue of American Rifleman. In it is an article and test written by AR's field editor Stanton Wormley on, you guessed it, Les Baer's Tactical Recon. Wormley's quite the enthusiast and tester and written about everything from 1911's to precision rifles. He stated in the article that the rifle was the most accurate .308 bolt gun he had ever tested.
"The Les Baer Custom Tactical Recon, fitted with a Nightforce 5.5-22X 56 mm NSX scope, turned in an average of 0.57" for five consecutive, five-shot groups with six different .308 win. factory loads"
I'm certainly not a pro but I know enough to understand that a rifle with anything other than a very good stock will NOT perform in that manner.
okie
