Carbon Fiber Stock

[SCHUNTER73]

In the process of building a new rig, and am probably going to use a Bartlein 2b contour. I'm new to looking at these stocks and having a difficult time determining which stocks look "right" with this contour. I understand that I need to choose the appropriate inlet, but just not sure which ones may have too bulky a fore end, etc.

Any suggestions? I like the looks of the Mesa Precision and a few of the McMillan stocks as well.

I am mainly hunting from a stand with a shooting rail, but I do often hunt from the ground as well. My other primary rifles are an old Ruger M77 and a Savage Model 11. That is the stock profile I am used to, but open to something different.

A 2b will look tiny in the Mesa stock, I’d lean towards a McMillan hunter, hunters edge, gamescout, or a Remington Sporter/classic. Manners SL would fit the barrel well also. The grayboe outlander lightweight might be worth looking at too.

I went with an MPI microlite carbon fiber and am quite happy with it. Have hunted it 3 seasons now and is holding up great.

Thanks gents. Any experiences with AG Composites?

Bartlein 3 in a Mesa. They'll cut your barrel channel if you tell them what you have.

If you can get your hands on one I'd really look at a Manners Ultra Classic which is basically designed for the 2b contour. Or maybe a EH3 or even a EH6.
Here is one in stock - not sure about your action??

Thanks Oregon. I am working with a stiller long action. I really like some of the manners and McMillan stocks, just not the wait time on them. Was looking for something a little quicker. May just settle in and wait, since I have the time.

If you consider a McMillan, check out a Classic Edge. I've done several builds with a 2b in the Classic and its one of my favorites for that barrel contour.
