new stock for my 243

[todbartell]

I ordered a Bell & Carlson medalist short action BDL, 8 weeks later it showed up

shoots just as good in the new stock too, most loads will print 3/4" or a bit less with handloads the stock is very nice and strong

Very Nice !
Doggies don't stand a chance now !

Nobody can accuse Bartell from having anything less than spectacular gun stuff...

 

[Pat Brennan]

He's got the "bling"!
Can't remember, is that 243 a stainless SPS? Looks good. Just finishing an SPS stainless in a Bansner myself.

 

[todbartell]

stainless BDL, was a LSS

 

[Levi Garrett]

Did you just dump it in or bed it?

 

[todbartell]

bolted in with no bedding other than the aluminum block that it sits on. This spring I will probably have Bullcoon skim bed it, he is the stock master! even though he cringes everytime I buy a new rifle

 

[Levi Garrett]

Might even get accuracy to an acceptable level

Interested in hearing which bansner you are using.I put a wide barrel channeled one on a 700 BDL last year.Was there alot of pinhole prep work before painting?I am considering taking an SPS stainless and putting it in bansner's sheep hunter.
Nice stock Tod BTW.RB

Standard right hand with floorplate. There was a bunch of prep work, no doubt. Bedded it and filled in the barrel channel but still floated the tube.
Used a 25-06 SPS stainless, comes out at right about 7lb 8oz with vxll 3x9 in Talley LW and a 1" decelerator.
Sorry to hijack the thread Mr Bartel!

 

[todbartell]

hey no problem

FWIW, this rifle is 8 lbs on the nose with a VXII 3-9x40 in Talley Lightweights

Where can 1 order these nice stocks?

 

[Bull's-Eye]

Man, that is a great looking rifle. How does she shoot?

 

[todbartell]

I ordered it through http://www.rifle-accuracy.com/ and it took 8 weeks from date or order for it to arrive to me. They were very good and easy to deal with

the rifle shot pretty good yesterday, best group was .68" for 3 shots with 60 gr Sierra hollowpoints. 58 gr Vmax & 87 gr Vmax werent much worse

How did you get around the $100 max import/export whatever law of ordering gun parts from the States?

 

[todbartell]

don't ask me, ask the place I got it from

 

[bcsteve]

Good enough!

There's not much to "get around"
If the Exporter does there bit the paperwork isn't that much of an issue

Nice stock Todd ! Who did the paint work....?
Poole Creek Precision ? or did it come this way ?

 

[todbartell]

painted by Bell & Carlson, although Poole Creek Precision could do the same

 

[BIGREDD]

Wicked stock... I like the paint. Remingtons are the best...
