I'm something of a Bell & Carlson fan and I just ran across one I haven't seen before. It's the Competition Stock w/ adjustable cheek piece, according to the B & C website. Is this new? I like where they're going with the addition of the adjustable cheek piece. Obviously similar to the Manners and McMillan offerings but without the hefty price tag. Yes, I can hear the elitist now saying that it's a knockoff, it's a wannabe, etc. but I don't need to spend a grand plus to take my rifle to the range. I have nothing against these fine additions and, in fact, I've been thinking about moving to a manners T4. But for the time being I'm exploring other options so  I might just pick one of these up. First I'd like to see if anybody has pics of them? To those who have gone before me, how do they feel and what's your opinion?

I think it's brand new, nothing out there.Looks like it just came out early May according to B&C FB Page

My intention is to put it on my .223 trainer and run a T2A on my big-boy rifle. The big question is if the cheek piece is adjustable for offset or just elevation? If it just goes up and down.... meh. By the time you put $200 in aftermarket hardware under it, you may as well buy a used manners.

ETA: Confirmed w/ B&C, elevation only. They use their own hardware too, so no idea how easily it can be swapped out.

When you say "hardware," what exactly is it you're referring to?

Something like the KMW loggerhead that Manners uses. The base/posts/adjustment mechanism for the cheek piece. It's not terribly expensive itself, but if you need the stock to be inlet for it, you may as well pass. That is if the molding/stock can even support it.

Screw it, I'm eating my words now. I went ahead and ordered one and had it sent straight to CDI precision for DBM/inletting. Will let you know how I like it. Now I just need to find a T6A for its big brother.

I'm looking forward to hearing your opinion of it. I'd love to see some pics too if possible.

Finally got it back from CDI. Seems to be the usual B&C deal. Some rough edges/chips that needed scraped off w/ your fingernail (swivel counter-bores, etc.) but otherwise well built. The hardware in the cheek seems solid although no movement other than up/down. Stock feels solid. I'm still going manners for its big brother, but at $650'ish for an adj. comb/DBM aluminum chassis stock, I'm tickled.

I went brown w/ black web for my geography and will try to snag some photos here shortly.
