I picked up a new one about two weeks ago. Swapped the vented B&C stock with a B&C extreme weather stock. I had to open the barrel channel just a hair due to the bigger barrel contour on the coyote lite to get the barrel free floated. No biggie. I put Talley's on top and a Leupold Tactical 3.5-10x40 scope. Now I got a faux extreme weather model 70 but chambered in 22-250 and a little over 8lbs.
Did you have to swap out the bottom metal on it too? I have been wanting to put that same stock on mine but from what I have read it uses the one piece floor plate and mine has the two piece. I have seen a conversion for this issue on eBay but it's a spacer made out of of delrin and I am a little wary af how stable it would be for the bedding. I glass bedded the action and floor plate on mine. I also saw a conversion for this issue on Stockey's website where they used washers as spacers to bring the two piece floor plate up to the correct height.
No, both stocks were inletted for the one-piece unit. Like you mentioned, you can get the conversion on ebay or spend $100 and get the aluminum one-piece unit from PT&G. Weighs like 2 oz or so and it is nice bottom metal. The B&C stocks are solid enough where the bottom metal doesn't need to be bedded.
