Re: BC medalist stocks
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: SavageMOA</div><div class="ubbcode-body">My stock needed work for my action to fit. The rear tange was hitting, recoil lug rubbed and trigger needed to be opened. You also almost always need to bed it. For almost the same money, you could buy an hs precision which is much better quality. I would never buy another unless it was for my 22. </div></div>
I have 3. This has not been the case on any.
The trigger recess may need to be opened up for some triggers, but even the Timney (which is notorious for needing it) worked fine on the Light Tactical.
I have not needed to bed any that I have although I am planning on bedding one just to show if there is, or isn't an accuracy change. The fit on my 26" 700 is so good that after a couple thousand rounds through it, the marks on the bottom of the receiver have been transferred into the bedding block. I can pull the action from the stock for maintenance, re-torque it and be right back to zero.
Having seen a fair number of H&S stocks, I would not in any way consider them better quality. I fact Remington specifically addresses what H&S defects are NOT warranty issues when I went through the Armorer's School.
H&S work great for some, but I have no idea why you would choose one over a B&C.
