I have a couple B&C a-5 stocks and a McMillan A-5 ( all on Rem 700's ) Both are great stocks. The B&C is much heavier but is half the price. I found I needed to skim bed the B&C to get really good accuracy. I prefer the feel of the McMillian. But i don't think one out shoots the other ( when properly bedded)
I have the Light Tactical on my work rifle. It's great out of the box. The bedding block is accurate enough hat I can remove the action from the stock for maintenance, then reinstall and retorque and still be zeroed.
No skim bedding needed.
I like the ergonomics enough that I bought a second one for my .300WM project.
I have used and like McMillan stocks, but I see no need to replace this stock. I do believe the current B&C tactical stocks rand above H&S in fit, finish and durability.
I have an A5 for my 700 and I like it a lot (for the $360 I paid). Never had a problem losing zero when removing the action (using a torque wrench to put it back on of course).
They are GREAT stocks. If you dont need adjustability, you can go with the A2 and save about half. Either route is good though. i have 3 B&C stocks on my rifles and like every one. i have a a2 on my 22-250imp and without bedding im shooting 1/3-1/4" groups @100 yards, no BS. They are not the same as a mcmillan, but they are still GREAT stocks considering the price (and no wait time) also check out stockystocks.com they have a lot in stock.
My B&C light tactical has been great. Fit, finish and repeatabilty has been issue free. Worth far more than the price and the perfect first upgrade for my SPS-T.

My good friend and I both have B & C A2 s. they are good stocks especially for around $200. I had a little bit of fitment issue on my 700 but it ended up being my recoil lug. my buddies fit his 10FP with no issues
Here's mine - totally happy with it, no complaints

I have one on my remmy, I got it from redhawk rifles in CO. was 212.00 with shipping, Like they say, it is not a McMillan, but is a great stock. it improved my accuracy 100% from the tupperware stock that remmy puts on. I am going to have it skimmed, especially the recoil lug, I think that will help some more.
This is a Bell and Carlson too and I couldn't be happier with it at $125.00. It's an very close copy of the Mcmillan A1-3 stock, but without the finger groove in the forend. The rifle is a hammer in it too.
Mines in my sig and helped my $260.00 inferior stevens 200 shoot that 5rd group in my sig at 100 yards. Also have hit a 6" disk at 900 two out of three shots at my last competition. Not bad for a budget rig in my opinion.
Great stock for the money. HUGE upgrade over tuperware stock.

I know this is not not what you are asking about(B&C Stock) but you might want to look at the Manners Stocks also. Nice Stocks, Great Customer Service.
Here is a couple pics of mine. Putting this stock on really reduced recoil and helped accuracy. Best 214.00 ever spent.

That rifle is just purely beautiful. Was the stock duracoated in OD green?
Sorry to hijack the thread, but I guess I'm torn between getting the a1 or the a3, but the a1 on the b&c website doesn't have the higher comb, or am I looking at the wrong stock?
I don't have experience with the B&C A5, but I just put an A2 on my SPS-V 308 and I love it. Helps reduce recoil and balances the front weight of the rifle some. As some have stated, it is a Manners, but it will get the job done if you dont plan on hitting it sideways against a tree.
sosicmcise what is the model # of that stock, thinking of building a m-40 clone for p-dogs hunting, i would like to save some $ in the stock and put that $ in my glass. THX.
I bought the A2 version from stockystocks and it is very good from ergonomics to aluminum block. Nothing bad about it for someone looking to get a good stock for an affordable amount of money.

I went with the Wyatt DBM, you can get 5 or ten rounders, and, it is a drop in to the B&C stock system:

Same one I went with. Haven't used the 10's yet but have had no issues with the 5 rounders. Dropped right in my B&C A5
I'll post up pics once I get it mounted up. I've also got a 308 in a McM A5 so I'll be able to shoot them side by side and maybe put together a little review.
