I have seen alot of different bell and carlson stocks over the internet and have a couple questions about them. My only expirence with B&C stocks is the stock on a Rem.700LVSF. but recently while i was in a local gun store they had a rem.700 titanium and the store owner said it was a B&C stock that they made for rem. I noticed that the stock had somewhat of a rubber feel to it which is nothing like my stock on the lvsf. Does B&C offer different types of finishes like this rubber feel for aftermarket purchases or was this something only made for remington?

according to the dealer it was a B&C. I have owned a couple hogue stocks and it wasnt the same as this stock on the rem. titanium. Its hard to discribe but the rubber feel wasnt as predominet as the hogue is. The titanium stock had a very subtle rubber feel to it.
but truthfully i dont know much about the history of the rem. titanium. so i cant say for sure it was a b&c...just going off what the dealer told me..

Yep, they make a couple different ones for sure.
B&C has a standard and a mountain version that is very light. They have a rubbery finish to them and come in a number of different colors that are "splattered" with black webbing.
I have a green on a 22-250AI built on a rem. Very nice stocks, they feel nice and function well. I'd recommend one in a heartbeat.
My only disappointment is that I wish I had a lightweight one. However the gun I have it on only weighs 9,75 pounds, not a huge deal but carring it coyote hunting it can start feeling heavy.

I live in new york state,how unfortunate !
If it has a ruber skin on it ,it isnt a b&c .It is a hogue period.The ones made for the titanium rifle were fiberglass etc.

The coating that you speak of is a dip coating as per the cat tail camo dip/rubberized coating found on Rem shotguns/rifles.
The 700 Ti Lighweights were a B&C stock as are the Rem Custom Seven AWR(AK wilderness Rifle).
The 700 Ti Alaskans have an H&S stock from the factory.
Any current model rifle produced by the Rem Custom Shop,the stock is not available commercially from the manufacturer until the Rem model goes out of production.
Most manufacturers couldn't produce stocks fast enough for Rem-hence the injection molded/tupperware stocks.

not to send this in a different direction but I've had several pm's asking where I saw the rem. titaniums they had two of them in 30-06 and were priced somewhere around $1300 not positive but they looked NIB condition. they were at sports world in Tulsa Oklahoma
I only shoot short action calibers if this thing was in. 308 or any of the sisters of the 308 I'd be $1300 poorer. this gun was absolutely one of the nicest rifles I have ever handled

Bell and Carlson still sells these stocks on there website , drop in fit but a good bed and float will help !!!!
"I’m posting on this thread just to say I posted on it again after 13 years."
Some of us still read old threads, too
IMO better than vegetating in front of a screen watching sports games played ~10-30 years ago
