Blued steel bottom metal for Bergara HMR Pro?

[Amanda4461]

My new HMR Pro in 300 Winmag is great in all but one respect. I grew up on model 70 and model 700 rifles with polished blue steel bottom metal. The HMR Pro’s bottom metal appears to be either carbon fiber or a plastic resin. Regardless, it ain’t polished, blued steel. Does anyone make a steel bottom metal replacement for the HMR Pro Long Action?
Thanks!

It's a remington 700 footprint, so theoretically any 700 bottom metal should work.

The last post is incorrect. The HMR Pro is one of their Premier line, and the bottom metal for that line’s BDL or mag versions are proprietary to Bergara. I know because I have both styles in the Premier line, and have inquired with Bergara itself. (Also, the B14 bottom metal DOES NOT FIT the Premier line stocks, and even within the Premier line, the mag/BDL metal IS NOT interchangeable)

The action has a Rem 700 footprint, but that is a separate issue than the mag/BDL cutout. One fits the action, and one is cut out of the bottom.
