Re: Bell and Carlson light tactical
I have one on my 243 ackley. I had originally used the bell and Carlson m40 style that looks kinda like the htg, but found the grip a little too small for my hand. I replaced it with the light tactical and it's much better in my opinion. The grip is about a half inch longer and fits my hand better. The forend is similar to an a3 McMillan in size and shape. I added a karsten cheek piece to raise the comb and it's good to go. You can find them on stockysstocks.com or shootersdiscount.com for around 220 bucks. Might need to dust off the dremel if you use a Jewell trigger, but a timney, shilen, or factory trigger should drop right in. On a side note, the plain painted version or the web pattern version have some texture to them. The other speciality paint jobs that are available are finished without any texture and are a bit slippery.
HTH,
