Thread: Bottom Metal and Lightweight stocks

Hey, to continue on with my current project (turning a heavy 6BR into a hunt able 243AI) I had originally though that some detachable bottom metal was a good idea so I order some from CDI Precision Gunworks in Florida. It takes the standard AICS magazines

I have also been put in touch with Jason from Senator Stocks in Tauranga. I have not seen or handled one of his stock but feedback from others who have puts his stocks in the same league as McMillan Edge for both finish and performance. I have placed an order for one of his carbon stocks (which can get as light as 380g!). Im still awaiting a full price one we sort the options I require but Im expecting around $700.

Now Im thinking the Tacticool bottom metal is probably going to be pretty impractical for a hunting rifle. So who of you out there is using DBM and is it good or should i look at maybe HS Precision or just the standard BDL bottom metal? Once the CDI DBM was fitted there would be no going back as it needs to be inletted a bit bigger.

Jason sure makes some beautiful carbon stocks, world class. And right here in NZ. Thats a work of art.

Keep us updated on the stock - I'm looking for one at the mo

As far a DBM on a hunter - dont do it - pain in the arse.
Unless its the factory rem mags which although heavy, fit flush and are retained well

And soon it will be mine. Bwahh haa haa haa (insert Doctor Evil laugh)
