Description

The Bell & Carlson 2948 series stocks are engineered as precision replacement stocks for rifles built on the Mauser 98 bolt-action platform, one of the most widely used rifle actions in sporting and tactical firearms. These stocks are manufactured using a proprietary composite structure that combines fiberglass reinforcement with structural resins, creating a rigid and durable stock capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions.

A defining feature of Bell & Carlson’s Medalist-style stocks is the integral aluminum bedding block system. This CNC-machined aluminum block is molded directly into the stock and provides a rigid bedding surface for the rifle action. The bedding block helps maintain consistent alignment between the action and the stock, reducing flex and contributing to improved accuracy.

The varmint/tactical profile includes a wider fore-end designed for improved stability when shooting from a bipod, sandbag, or benchrest. The barrel channel typically accommodates free-floating heavy barrels, ensuring that the barrel does not contact the stock during firing, which can improve shot consistency.

The 2948-27 version features a Snow Camo finish, designed to provide camouflage in winter or snow-covered environments. Like other Bell & Carlson finishes, the coating is durable and textured to enhance grip during field use.
