I have a B&C Medalist that came factory on my Accumark. I like it very much. I'm actually looking into a Medalist just like your's for my .243. For the price, I think they are a great stock. I think Bigdaddy also has a stock like that. Those stocks seem to fit me very well, and are ergonomically very good.

I had a medalist that I just sold. Only issue I had was with the in letting on the first one, but B&C took care of it.

I have one that I had to open the barrel channel on one side. After that, I have nothing but good things to say about it.

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

I received one for my Savage. I plopped the action into the stock last night and it seems to fit well. I'll be at the range with it in a couple of hours.
Mine is a green Medalist stock with black webbing.

ILya, what bipod are you using, and how did you mount it? Looks sturdy.

The bipod is a Versa Pod. I think this one is Model 52. It is not the steadiest bipod in the world, but it is pretty decent. It makes for easy adjustability to uneven surfaces and I like the fact that there sling swivel stud adaptor stays on the rifle, while the bipod itself is easy to remove for storage or transportation. The adaptor also has a nice hand rest built in. ILya

I have several ..Medalist on a 300 WBY Vanguard, Medlaist on a 300 WBY Mk V , Medalist on a 30-06 Weatherby, and one on a Rem 700 in 308..All have performed well and the coatings have proven durable ( including other stocks they have dipped for me)

Nice looking stock Koshkin, I was thinking of getting that one for my Rem 700, I will probably just do a black stock though. How are the groups on the rifle in the B&C stock vs the groups with the previous stock? Was the previous stock a factory one?

The previous stock was a Choate Ultimate Varmint. The rifle was shooting quite well in that stock as well. This one is more comfortable though and a bit lighter. ILya

It is not strictly speaking light, but it is lighter than the Choate Ultimate Varmint by at least a pound. ILya

I had one on a Savage and I found it heavy but I am looking at their Alaskan stocks now becasue of that. It would be great for a range gun. I just wouldn't want to lug one in the back country.
