[QUOTE="dwm, post: 8303, member: 1136"] I have two and have typed up a list of concerns on a couple of boards. Pros: 1. Very strong construction 2. Cool tactical styling 3. Love the pistol grip 4. Good size and feel 5. Minimal cost/low risk for a new heavy duty stock 6. Lots of room to add weight if a heavy gun is your choice, I expoxied about 4 pound of lead shot in the forend and pistol grip of one of them. Cons: 1. Too heavy to carry around 2. There are serrations on the btton of forend and bottom of the back of the stock. My front rest sand bag was conforming to the serrations and I felt like the stock was bumping up over the serrations each time I shot. I screwed flat pieces of aluminum to the bottom of the forend and bottom of the back of the stock so the stock would ride smotthly on the rests. This would not be a problem if one were to only shoot off of a bipod. 3. The aluminum bedding block is great, but my action and recoil lug did not sit squarely and make full contact. I bedded the entire action and recoil lug area in steel based expoy - Devcon to fix this. 4. The rail in the forend does not attach very securely. Broke the wing nut off in short order. That one screw just does give me the confience that the rail will stay in there. 5. The bottom of the back of the stock is flat and wide and does not fit on a conventional rear bag that well.
