Difference between synthetic stocks?
I am trying to increase the accuracy of my deer rifle. Its a Savage .270 110. Some things I have or will be doing is a newer scope, trigger job, and a new synthetic stock. I was looking at stocks in Cabelas and saw two that fit my gun. They were from Ramline and Bell and Carlson. My question is, is there some specific difference between the Ramline and the BC? I like the looks of the BC but the Ramline is so much cheaper and that leaves some money for a scope of something else. I don't want to hollow thud noise when you knock on a synthetic stock, such as the one I tested on my friends ADL. So whast eeveryones opinion?
Another thing, I am looking for someone to re-cut the crown, apply some sort of protective coating, something along the lines of a graphite or teflon base product. Something that looks good and will hold up. I also want to have the sights removed and holes filled and blended prior to the coating being done.
I know this is a lot to digest, so thanks for putting up with it.

As for the stock question.
Check out Sharp Shooter Supply, they are the people to talk to when it comes to savages.
Also check out Savageshooters.com, I am sure you can find all your answers there concerning your particular rifle.0 -
If I was looking for a stock that would give up the best accuracy, I would be sure to look long and hard at the Laminated wood that is available today.
If you don't mind the weight, this is the way to go I think.
Gun control is hitting what your aiming at.0 -
I don't want the weight of a laminated stock. I think I might just go with the Bell and Carlson. 0 -
What kind of stock is on it now?
If your goin' from wood to synthetic(lighter weight),you will notice an increase in recoil.
Ask me how I know.[B)]

IT'S WHAT PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THEMSELVES THAT MAKES THEM AFRAID.0 -
Right now I have the standard factory wooden stock. Recoil does'nt seem to be a factor, I put 40 rounds through my friends ADL 06 that was wearing synthetic. Did'nt bother me too bad. My reason mostly for the synthetic stock is ( yes you can laugh if you want to) I want a lighter rifle. In the type of deer and beer hunting I do I cover close to 15-20 miles a day. Now, that would be a lot of plain hiking but I also have a bad back as well. I had surgery on it and it has never quite healed so I really feel it after 5 or 6 miles. I just weighed mine and loaded with scope it comes to 9 pounds. That was on a bathroom scale though. Anyways, I want a lighter rifle, don't want to sell mine and buy a new one either. Anyone know of a gunsmith who I can have do the crown and screw hole work? 0 -
That looks to be quite a distance for a beer...J/K 0 -
I had a Ramline stock....it is lighter than the B&C but the front sling screw mount screw pulled while hunting. I got a B&C and it has lasted for years. 0 -
An aftermarket stock regardless of brand, if not equipped with an internal bedding block {h-s precsion, b&c medalist} will most likely need a bedding job. 0 -
Bill,
The Ramline stock is made of injected plastic just
like a "tupperware" bowl. The Bell and Carlson is a laid-up
fiberglass. The B&C will be about the same weight as your
wood stock and be much more accurate than the Ramline tupperware.
The cost difference is due to materials and labor. It
costs about 12-20 cents to make a Ramline..and about a hundred
times that to make the laid up fiberglass.
Although the B&C is supposed to be "drop-in"....it may need
a bedding job. Keep in mind, that a bedding job might make
your existing stock a tack driver as well?! An acra-glas job
would be the cheapest fix.0 -
Bill,
http://www.shumakergunworks.com should be able to handle
any of your work wanted....I have 2 guns coated with gun kote
and the stuff is amazing, and looks good too.
I have a fiberglass stock and gun kote on my hunting rifle
and it is simply as waterproof as it gets!!!!0 -
look at the Borden rimrock stocks as well as brown precicion,..these are both very stiff stocks which weigh very little. I would advise against ANY injection molded plastic stock, no matter how good the price.
why chase the game when the bullet can get em from here?....
Got Balistics?0 -
JustC,
My fiberglass stock is a Borden Rimrock. And
it is a terrific stock...not clubby like some.
Good design and good weight. Definately worth
a try. The molded in checkering is nice too.
Cheaper than MPI, McMillan, and Brown! About the
same price of a Bansner Hi-tech.0
