Looking to get my T3x Cabela's Can. Edition a new stock - Bell&Carlson or Grayboe?

Hi,

As title says, i'm looking to get a new stock for my T3x. Mostly used for hunting and then some range time. Grayboe are now making their Terrain for T3X inlet, but can't find any of them in Canada and seems a bit more expensive.

Bell&Carlson Sporter are more available here and about the same canadian price as the USD prices on Grayboe. Are Bell&Carlson a true drop-in solution? Do they need bedding or glass works? Do they worth it?

Finally, I always like the idea of accuracy international magazines. But for that all around rifle, do you think I would regret to get an AI bottom metal? Should I stay with factory 3 to 5 rounds plastic mag?

Thank you!

What about a mdt lss? Nice and light and will give aics compatibility.

The Grayboe is the better quality stock, but the B&C are decent for the price. The B&C is a drop in, with a recoil lug built into the bedding block. Avoid the mdt lss, too light and flimsy for a hunting rifle, and unpleasant to shoot in a larger capacity cartridge.

Depending how much you want to spend I would go McMillan Game Hunter in carbon fiber. I would keep the factory BM if it is a hunting gun. Also if you go Mcmillan or Manners expect a 6 month wait. Stocky's is another option. They have some reasonably priced stocks. Skies the limit, really depends on budget and what the gun will be used for.

What about Wildcat Composites?

I agree. I have 2 wildcat stocks and prefer them over any other! They are not just a drop in stock though, needs bedding, paint and pad. Still a fair amount cheaper than a McMillan, and much lighter.

Would be nice for a range gun, but I hate aluminum in the cold

The Bell and Carlson comes with checkering whereas the Greyboe doesn't. I prefer the grip that checkering offers.

+1 for a Wildcat. Stuart is good to deal with and if you're a little handy you can easily fit this to your rifle. It will be very light and stiff as can be. It can be painted, hydro dipped, or wrapped by yourself with a Gunskin.

I also have B&C stocks... The Tikka isnt checkered, the Remington and Howa are...
