That is a Bell & Carlson Tactical/Varmint, Purchased from Alberta Tactical Rifle, Black was $350 and the different colored ones go up to about $450. It is so comfortable. it has an aluminum bedding block a really wide pistol grip, that makes holding it super comfortable.... And down the road I'm guna add a 3 way butt assembly and a McMillan cheek rest.... shes sweet...

I can see how the butt assembly sorta, but how the McMillan cheek rest? since the cheek rest that McMillan builds is metal and has a piece that slides inside the middle of the stock itself.
Do you mean a Karsten cheek piece?
To keep this on topic...here is my rifle almost done!

Actually McMillan makes more then one type of cheek rest, So ya I did mean McMillan.... Also what do you mean by "sorta" in regards to the butt assembly, for me I could use a little more length.....Heres the McMillan Parts...

I'm only trying to correct your mis-information with the correct bit. Not sure about adding the adjustable stock butt assembly as your B&C tactical stock is hollow inside and not sure how the mounting points on it would be...might work and I'd even do it.
If you think you can call up McMillan and say 'hey I want to order that cool looking cheek piece to install on my stock' then save your time.
as I mentioned...IT WONT WORK as a 'bolt on' part as you think without a bunch of work cutting up your stock.
Perfect thread for your to refer to:
http://www.snipercentral.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6085&highlight=mcmillan+cheek
And that was written about a McMillan stock, not a Bell and Carlson stock.
Here is a picture of the McMillan A4 stock...showing the slot for the McMillan cheek rest which a factory B&C Tactical stock does not have and won't be worth 'modifying' for... It's not as easy as going to a site and saying "hey I'll just order this and install it without doing further research"
I would have got the McMillan cheek piece myself also if it was worth buying and going through the hassle of installing...

Ya I see what you mean... Earlier this week I called ATRS and they informed me that they have done them before on the B&C and that the cheek rest they stock is the McMillan... so I hope nothing has changed... Anyway though just incase, is Karsten the only other option? or are there others? And where did you get the Karsten? Thanks for your help

No problem man.
I just think it would be throwing money out the window to even take it to any gunsmith to have them do the 'modification' for the McMillan piece, just for a hole in the middle of the stock, I even doubt the job would be cheap so not worth it.
The stock butt part, sure if you need the extra length and if it can be done then that would be worth it. Email Bell & Carlson and find out if they can sell you their extended stock butt since some of their higher end model stocks come with adjustable butts. http://www.bellandcarlson.com/
About the Karsten cheek pad/piece...yes it would be the only height adjustable one you can purchase. There have been some cheap ones floating around on the internet but the plastic cracks easier and doesn't hold as well as this one. Karsten makes his of Kydex(SP?) or something similar so you can shape it to your stock by using a hair dryer.
It's a very very nice piece, great product and worth the money. Holds my face on it so good and even when I put pressure on it, it won't budge at all.

Here is a thread where he got a Special Forces coin from a SF group for his stunning product.

yea that's a massive rip-off for a stock worth 200.00
I sent you over the pics via PM!
Well, I just finished Armacoating the stock. It took 4 weeks of trial and errorssss... I had to custom make the colours by blending some of the standard ones. The camo pattern I TRIED to replicate is on the trousers (tru-spec urban digital). I'm still not 100% satisfied, but I need a break, so here she is for now...
Few people seem to be able to apply a camo pattern correctly, especially a digital one. But, you've pulled it off. It may not be exactly what is on the fabric, but it flows well and doesn't repeat.
If you're not satisfied, I bet you could sell that stock (or just the skin) for a tidy profit and try again on a new one. It would be a shame to paint over it. With what you've learned, the next one will be much easier.
Thanks for the kind words. Since that pic, I redid the gray surrounding the grip and trigger because it was too light and didn't stand out of the base colour. I also redid the black to make it more uniform and matte. Left to do is to give it more definition by adding islands and square dots. I'll post pics when done.
