I just got back from the range and I noticed while cleaning my 98 that the stock is splitting. It is very small but this is on my 338/06. I am going to replace it. Any one have thoughts on the B&C Medalist vs. Hogue Overmold. Both I see have the full length alluminum bedding. Pro's / Con's . I figure it is easier and safer to spend 200 on a stock versus 20000 for face reconstruction.
