I was back-and-forth between the chalk branch and the adjustable armor, but decided to go with the adjustable armor.
THAT is a classy looking stick! I like that pattern on the Visigoth. Who spun the rifle up for you?
Sweet. The big difference between the two is underside of the forend. The Armor will ride a front bag a little better because the front end is wider, whereas the chalk branch excels with a bipod. The front end is shallower, meaning that you'll get slightly lower center of gravity with identical bipods. Miniscule differences. Most people pick one over the other because the like the look one way or the other.

Don Geraci. Geraci Accuracy. Very pleased with how the 270 WBY finished. It is very light with the Ti action, Carbon stock, and Proof Barrel, and shoots very well so far with factory ammo but want to get a load worked up for it.
@AG Composites
I just found your thread today. I'm looking to replace the stock on my factory Remington 700 BDL SS DM rifle. It shoots amazingly well but deserves to sit in a nicer stock and a bit of a make over via Cerakote. And I'm not familiar with the R700's like I am with Mausers and older Savage rifles. I've been reluctant to embrace the 700's due to their popularity. I like the underdogs of the rifle world and their unique challenges. I'm baiscally a Noob with 'em.
I'm torn between your Carbon All Terrain and the Visigoth designs. Can these stocks be configured to fit the factory magnum barrel contour and the factory detachable magazine/bottom metal setup? I've had this rifle for 25 years and have 50ish rounds through it. I'd like to pass it on to my Grandson looking more like a capable and properly configured Elk/Mountain rifle.

The answers to your questions are yes and yes, regardless of which stock you choose. Though, you may want to consider using an M5 footprint on your bottom metal and replacing the factory BM with one of our M5s or a third-party M5 BM. I say this only because it's going to give your grandson more options in the future. If, let's say, he wants to convert the rifle to an internal magazine in 10 years, or if he wants to swap out the detachable BM for any reason, he will have more options if the stock is inletted for the M5 footprint.
As far as the CAT and the Visigoth, they are quite different models. The CAT is what I'd consider a low-volume stock, and the Visigoth is high volume. If I were choosing between the two, my number one consideration would be: How high will the centerline of the scope be above centerline of the bore. If it's going to wear a 50 or 56MM scope (or if you plan on mounting a smaller scope with high rings), I'd likely lean toward the Visigoth. If you can get that objective lens closer to the top of the barrel, maybe the CAT will serve you perfectly. The comb on the Visigoth is higher above bore line than the CAT.
Also, some shooters would say that they'd like the Visigoth more for prone shooting while the CAT would excel at offhand/standing shooting. It's subjective.
One final thought: is your grandson done growing yet?
What color/s are these stocks? I have one and cannot match it to any of the current schemes listed?
Maybe @AG Composites can help me.
Sweet rifles Muddy!!
