Hogue pillar bed or Bell & Carlson Carbelite Classic?

[asknight]

I have a Remington 700 ADL short action and I am giving up on trying to make the crappy factory plastic stock and triggerguard assembly (cracked now) work for me. I have narrowed it down to the following two choices and would like the general opinion of which choice will give me better durability and stability for the receiver bed.

1. B&C Carbelite Classic in ADL configuration ($170)
OEM Remington steel matte ADL triggerguard ($25)

2. Hogue pillar bedded overmolded in BDL configuration ($105)
OEM Remington one piece aluminum BDL bottom metal ($70)

Thanks everyone!

The houge is a better price, and I like the way it feel's, and fit's me.

Voted for Hogue.

I just got a Remmy SPS tactical with the Hogue. I like the tacky rubber overcoat a lot. I'm sure the B&C is nice, but the Hogue is very nice and less expensive.

Here is a review of the SPS tactical that talks a bit about the stock.

I've had both, and I prefer the feel and fit of the B&C. It is simply more substantive and solid. The Hogue is a bit lighter, IIRC.

Thanks for the thoughts so far, gentlemen. The poll is open just a little while longer. Does anyone else out there have experience with these two stocks?
