I've had 2 HS stocks on my 700s for a couple years and very happy. Last week I bought a B&C Medalist for my 700 mountain rifle, and I have NO complaints. I think it's an excellent value. Appearance wise, very comparable to the HS. Haven't shot it yet, but have no reason to believe it'll be less than fine. Based on appearance and finish, I would not hesitate to buy another B&C. I recently ordered a McMillan Edge for my Sako 75, I hope it'll be worth what it's costing!!
