NewB stock question

[BigAndy]

New to the Hide and have a general question about stocks for Rem 700 SA (308): is there much benefit to an HS M24 stock over a B&C? I'm currently running a B&C stock (with the hook, I forget the model name) and like the looks of the M24. I don't need LOP adj. but like the cheekpiece on the M24. Both stock have Al blocks and I can get a Karsten piece, I was just looking for some wisdom from folks with experience with both before I spend more money than I should. Shooting will be target only.
Thanks,
Jason

No...just get a cheek piece if that's the only thing you like about the HS Precision.

Depending on how much extra "vertical" lift you need to get your sight line, might want to just get a stock pack with maybe a little extra padding underneath. Cheaper than a Karsten and soft on the cheek. And you don't need to drill holes in your stock, not that the holes are a big deal.

I already have an Eagle; will that go over a Karsten if I need just a little lift? Thanks for the input.

Re: NewB stock question

Remau, the rifle does seem to shoot pretty well. I've only taken it to the local (FREE) 100 yard range, so I don't yet know how she'd do much further. I have to wait a few more months before we get a 1000 yarder here in Michigan. Do you recommend a bed job with the Al block? I know we're talking short range so gains may be minimal, but I want my rig to be 'finished' so that I'm practicing with the final product. Thanks again and Go Gators!
