Re: CDI or Hooper bottom metal?
Just my opinion, but any gunsmith worth his salt should be able to inlet for any of the popular BM's. If it's a new stock it's probably going to the gunsmith to be pillar bedded anyway.
Either of your choices would be fine but personally I'd base the decision on the features I prefer rather than the inlet.

Don't know about Hooper, but my CDI bottom metal is badass. I love it.
Great product, great guy.

CDI does it quickly, cheaply, and effectively. Usually you don't get all three of those options, but he did my Mcmillan stock well.

I don't really have any closeups but I can show you side shot of my rifle. Dunno if that really helps haha but I can take a closeup of the bottom later.
I know he's done so many of them it probably only takes him a sec.

I like the looks of the latch on the Hooper personally. That's the one I'm going to order when the time comes.

If I think about it I'll post some close ups. It looks pretty similar to the badger one the trigger guard is just a little more angular.

Re: CDI or Hooper bottom metal?
I am having Jeff install a bottom metal on my Savage. He called me today to tell me it was ready. Once I get it I will post some photos.

Re: CDI or Hooper bottom metal?
Thanks for the pics Pyp! Thanks for all the other info and please do post more pics.
I'm assuming the CDI will work on a stock inlet for HS precision? I would think HS is the same as BDL, but not sure...

I have the CDI on my FN-SPR that I made out of a Win M-70. CDI DBM looks great and runs even better!

Re: CDI or Hooper bottom metal?
+1 for CDI, it was very fast delivery (less than a week) and the parts are flawless and work even better than they look.

Re: CDI or Hooper bottom metal?
I have a CDI and I just got one of the Hooper DBMs. My smith has had it done for a couple days but I've been down due to a stomach virus. I'll get a pic or two posted up when I pick it up. So far, my smith and my buddy have both said it's a slick setup and the mags drop great. My smith also commented about how well it fed.
Can't wait to get it in MY hands!

Must be! I definitly don't see $100-$150 difference in the two...

Re: CDI or Hooper bottom metal?
Popeye, what stock is that? Looks good.
I've been looking at CDI myself...not sure how easy it would be to inlet my self or if my machinist buddy could do it. I'll start another thread...don't mean to hijack this one.
ETA Never heard of Hooper, but after looking into them, they look promising too!

Thanks, I did it myself. I've had an iwata airbrush from back when I played around with rc nitro trucks and I think I spent more time creating bodys more than I did driving them. The bulldog stencils made it easy.

Re: CDI or Hooper bottom metal?
lol, same here. i am eyeing Bulldog myself. they have a new pattern that i really like. what kind of paint did you use? i keep thinking by the time i get what i need in duracoat it would be cheaper to have Todd at Manners do it. but i have 3 or 4 badgers and a compressor still from my model and R/C days. i got pretty good too. fun in reverse huh?

Re: CDI or Hooper bottom metal?
I used Duracoat. Magpul FDE, OD green and Matte black. hahaha painting in reverse is a trip. I did a Dukes of Hazzard General Lee once and after it was too late I noticed that I did all the lettering and numbers backwards.
