First time posting, have always used this forum to research questions I have but finally signed up so I can actually ask one.

Recently picked up an A-bolt that was a .280 rem changed to .280AI with a Benchmark barrel. Still has the factory stock and the only option I’m seeing out there for an upgrade is a Bell and Carlson sporter style but looking for something with more of a vertical grip. Anyone know of another option?
I saw a McMillan on eBay but waited till I actually had possession of the gun before buying and of course it sold that same day before I got a chance at it.

What factory stock is on it now? Synthetic Stalker or wood?

It has the factory synthetic on it. Was a good enough deal that I wanted to buy even if I have to stay with how it is now but just hoping to come across the right upgrade. The McMillan I saw on eBay would have been perfect if I weren’t too slow. Believe it was a Game Scout

I found in my own experience that the best way to make an A Bolt solid was to sell it and buy a 700 or a Tikka.

I own both, a 96 Abolt Ii Medallion 7mag and 3 tikkas. That Abolt is still my most accurate rifle out of them all. Still in factory form other than trigger spring.

The B&C is only synthetic offered right now. McMillan did at one time, but don't think they do anymore.

Oh, also much is said to the action of the tikka, but my abolt Ii action is as slick or slicker than my tikka. So no issues here.
