bell and carlson stocks.

[unwise11]

i have a sporter barrel howa m1500 and i cant find a replacement bell and carlson stock not made for a heavy barrel, i understand it would matter trying to put a heavy barrel into a sporter size stock, but does it matter putting a sporter barrel into a heavy sized stock?

Sounds like it would be free-floated that way.

Have you contacted B&C?

A smith could probably bed the barrel to fit.

no i havnt. i dont have the stock yet. i am having trouble finding things for the sporter barrel contour M1500 but i want the better accuracy and have heard these stocks are the way to get it.

Any stock made for the short action Vanguard will work.

The Vanguard and Howa use the same stock

I had a post with a similar question a few weeks ago... Seems like no problem dropping a standard barrel into a varmint channel if you dont mind the extra space on the side of the barrel. I am going to be getting a bell and carlson light tactical stock for my 24" sporter barrel in the coming weeks. Will keep you posted.

I would call Stocky's before ordering. They know their stuff and ordered me an H.S. Precision custom length stock for my 700 sporter.

awesome. i like sporter barrels cause its not a pain to carry around but offers the same accuracy as a heavy, just doesnt stay very cool

well... I dont know if they are as accurate at long range distances as heavier barrels, but sporters definitely have their advantages.
