Hunting rifle stock for ARC CDG lightweight

[BlackGreyhounds]

I'm working up a new custom short action, hunting rifle around an ARC CDG light action and looking for real-world experience with lightweight hunting stocks that work well with this action. Obviously, it's a Rem 700 clone, but may need inletting for the trigger hanger. I know that McMillan does a custom stock specifically for the ARC CDG. Has anyone used another brand of stock with the CDG? What's your experience? Pros vs. Cons? BTW, I run a standard CDG + Xylo chassis on my 223 AI trainer and it is awesome.

I'd simply go McMillan Carbon in either Classic or Game Scout. My last 10 McMillans have been very good.

Add a set of Hawkins bottom metal and aics or hunter mags.

I have a cdg lite 25prc (for sale) in a rokstock, a small amount of dremel work for the trigger hanger and it dropped right in.

I wound up going with MCS Pro Hunter w/ adjustable cheek, micro mini chassis, Hawkins Hunter DBM bottom metal and mag.

What bottom metal did you end up using? Did you have to modify the bottom metal itself to make things work? I'd like to go this route with a 6arc with my standard cdg.

I used hawkins hunter dbm. No modifications needed but they were tight to action to get seated.

Good to hear. Looks like they make a flush (or nearly flush) mag for hunter bottom metal for ARC/grendel cartridges
