The Bell & Carlson Medalist is the best stock for the money. You couldn't pay me to replace one. They are more accurate if they are bedded, for sure, since the bedding is going on a solid aluminum block, and the action screws lock up on the bottom of the same block. I especially like the extension of the aluminum block into the grip of the stock, since hunting rifles typically fall off 4-wheelers and break right there. Also, the front sling swivel stud is screwed into the forward extension of the aluminum block. Without that, if you shoot a wooden-stocked rifle (or poor quality synthetic) a lot using a bipod, the swing swivel stud will pull out, and you have to replace the stock or laboriously strengthen the area around the stud with J-B Weld. Better just to avoid that and use the Bell & Carlson.
