thinking about getting one of the carbelite classics with the spiderweb finish for my newly duracoated rem. 700. anyone have any experience with them? i know they're no h.s. precision or mcmillian quality, but what about them for the price? speaking of, is cabela's the cheapest at $160?

I have owned a few and like them, I liked the older model with the built-in sling system alot, if you post here on the classified you might have some luck if not try E-bay as there are a few listed there this A.M.

Just bought one and installed it in my Savage 116 300 RUM. Good fit and went in without a hitch. Haven't shot it yet but the stock is much stiffer than the cheopo factory stock and the barrel is fully floating. I bought mine from Midway USA.

Law, how do you like the duracoat? Did you do it yourself? Thanks

Custom Model Seven in Bell and Carlson Carbalite stock. This is one of the original design with the intergral sling mounts I bought at close out from a long forgotten mail order dealer for $39.95. I originally used it a just a drop in with the action resting directly in the stock. It shot OK like that but when I rebarreled to 6.5-284 I had the gun smith install steel pillars and glass bed the action and the barrel channel. This rifle now shoots almost any load under MOA. The results of a superior barrel, fine gun smithing, and rigid, stable stock.

The original finish was gun metal gray crinkle paint. The current "Cedar Shadow" paint job is metal primer with black overspray using cedar branches as stencils.
