    Richards Microfit Stocks

    was watching the comments on these stocks. after a less than satisfactory (poor QA) from another prominent vendor (finished stock) I bought a rosewood laminate from richard's microfit for my wife to replace factory plastic stock on a rem 700 vtr (.223). Agree the 99% finish was much rougher...
