All models with a 2 digit number are small actions. 3 digit are long actions. a 10 model is a short action. I do not think the B&C stock costs $400. Check MidwayUSA website for stock prices. I think this guy is full of bull tooky. For a proper fitting stock check out the advertiseers here like Stocky's and Boyds. Boyds laminate stocks are under $100 and are drop in's, no fitting required. And they will checker them for an additional $50. Stokeys Stocks has a much greater selection of designs available if Boyd doesnt have what you want.
