i just put a Bell and Carlson Medalist on my Hog Hunter and it completely changed the gun. It added much needed weight and tightened my groups a ton.
I have a new Hog Hunter in .338 Win Mag. It is a 11/111 model rifle with 20 in bbl and the muzzle dia is about .875 inches.
I am looking for a replacement stock. Any ideas are welcome.
I am thinking it is considered a heavy bbl rifle?
Thanks in advance.

Could you tell me the specific model of the Bell and Carlson please?
Medalist was mentioned.
Correct. Medalist is the model.
OP has the 338 WM, so that should be a long action. I didn't think they made the Medalist for the LA, or do they?
Just checked the B&C website and online catalog and didn't see anything but the Short actions listed for the Medalist's.
204, 22 K-Hornet, 222, 223, 22-250, 22-250AI, 6BR, 243, 243AI, 6-06, 6-WSM, 250-3000AI, 270, 7-08, 7RM, 30BR, 308, 30-06, 375 H&H, 444 Marlin, 450BM, 458WM
You may want to look at the Choate Tactical too. It's a very rigid stock that weighs almost 5 pounds. It also has the aluminun V bedding block.
Nice stock!

Yeah I wasn't thinking. So OP, Do you want a laminate or lightweight composite or plastic stock. If you could find one of the lightweight H&S or savage copy of same.
Boyds has the tacticool at 2.x lbs. You may have to open the barrel channel but that is eeeeeasy.*** one to two week shipment.

I would call stockys as well to see what they recommend.I just use bvss stocks that I have bought off members here.
Willing to give back for what the sport has done for me!
I will just see how well the OEM stock works. I have already had the stock off to adjust the trigger. I am waiting for the muzzle brake. And waiting for Talley ring/base setup. I have a Weaver Grand Slam 3-10 scope waiting. I want the small, quick handling stock. Do not want a tactical setup. I am looking more for keeping it what it is; fast handling, hard hitting scout or guide gun.
Thanks...
Look at Mccrees compact carbine stock.
Check out stockade. Or if money is not a concern xlr industries for more of a tactical look
