If you can legitimately swing it, the C stock is the Cadillac - and you will enjoy the pride of ownership, and eventual appreciation of value. GI C stocks bring a premium, now and in the future. They are not making any more real ones.

Having said that, the Scant stock has a certain charm - and shoots worlds better than an "S", and feels much better at the shoulder. The comb/butt is higher and more in line, (exact same profile as a C stock) and the abbreviated pistol grip is still a lot more to hold on to than an S straight stock. Either one will make you throw rocks at your old S stock..... CC
