Anyone have experience with the bell and Carlson "weatherby" style medalist stock on a howa 1500? I have 2 howa's in short action calibers that I want to replace the stocks to composite materials. One stock is replacing a hogue the other a Boyd's. I know the weatherby vanguard and howa 1500 are interchangeable. Just looking to hear from those who have experiences. I've never had a bell and Carlson stock just HS Precision.
Thanks for any help/ input.

I have the Medalist A2 for my Howa .204. Great stock, just be aware that it is heavy. Highly reccommended.

K = ½mv2

Thanks Bodei.
I just ordered the medalist weatherby style 6505 in tan/black web. Should look pretty good on my stainless action and barrel
. Now all I need to do is sell my Boyd's stock and factory one
. If I like this one I'm ordering another for my .243.

Next I think will be a Leupold VX-3 6.5-20 on here. Too many projects going
can't finish one before I start another.
