I have a B&C medalist and it is a fine stock. A tad heavy but not terrible.

If you decide on the B&C, I'd look at the M40 stock. The others were too bulky for me, especially for a 20" barrel.

The Bell and Carlson Medalist is nicely proportioned if you're looking for a practical, portable stock. It uses an aluminum frame and bedding block which gives it great stiffness along the length of the stock. .

Well the BC I was looking at was particularly the varmint /tactical and have no idea if i want the solid srock or the adust able one.
The factory hogue stock feels small on me since I have a somewhat large build. And it just feels cheap and flimsy. 
That hogue stock needs to be gone lol |

I would look on Snipershide for a used Manners or McM.

Hmm just out of curiosity what makes the regular m40 stock better than the varmint tactical? And or why does everyone seem to prefer it over other ones

McMillan is in a different league than B&C. Sure a B&C could serve just fine, but comparing the two would be like comparing a Nissan 350z and a Porsche 911. Save some more coin and get a new McM or Manners.

I would wait for a McMillan but I could be biased.

Also I like the color of your A5
https://www.mcmillanusa.com/product/4004-a3-remington-700-short-action/ That seem like a decent deal? |

Yeah I was over $700 with pillars and a limbsaver pad for both of mine.

OK I have a couple of dumb questions for you.
What the hell is a limbsaver? And if it comes from McMillan with the pillars installed can I drop my action and everything in myself? BTW this is my first bolt action rifle. |

They give you the option of a limbsaver recoil pad or a pachmayr pad. The limbsaver is an upgrade.
Yes you should be able to drop it right in and go shoot. |

Same thing as the A3? And I like the price

The forend is more round where as the A3 is more squared but both are very similar.
