[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 223504, member: 8"] What is club specific is the length of their range. It is a great benefit and luxury to have access to a 1000 yard range, but few places have that kind of distance. Then there are many variations of F-class and each club will have their special rules. As far as a stock goes, you need something that will give you a good cheek weld. You need it to either ride the bags well or shoot off a bipod well. Selection of a stock fore end will depend upon whether you plan to shoot a bipod or a front rest of some kind. So it is something of your decision of what is most important to you, shooting F-class or prairie dogs, coyotes and bobcats. An F-class rifle should be heavy but I suspect that a coyote rifle needs to be very light and quick. Joel Russo makes an A3/A5 hybrid laminated stock that is really a marvelous thing. It fits your hand like a thumbhole but handle like a sporter. He can make it with any shape and dimension of foreend that you want once you figure out the basic questions of how you plan to shoot it. You would need to know how to use a few small chisels and dremel and how to bed a stock or else take it to someone who can. A little sandpaper in about four or five grits and some Truoil or something will finish it up. [/QUOTE]
