[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1786265, member: 97414"] Stewart made me a custom Vartec for my long action Remington even though they were designed for the short actions... He fills in the area ahead of the front lug so it can incorporate the long action for bottom feed or clip... I had mine filled in which really stiffness the fore-end up the front shank and inner ribb down the center which makes it very solid... My custom long action stock came in at 2.2 or 2.4 lbs,,, each stock is weighted before it leaves his facility... I was going to do the $788 Macmillan A-5 stock in """Cnd funds""" until I found the Wildcat Composites stocks... They are modelled after the M-40 design with a forward palm swell so a shooter can work off the sand bags or add a Anschutz long rail for a F Class bypod,,, normally we order extra loooooong fore-arms to our stocks,,, but we ordered the Vartec in its standard length for PRS... Did I mention that the Vartec stocks come with a curved pistol grip,,, lots of us shooters like the non wrist bend,,, its a much more comfortable fit for my shooting sports... Don't get me right or wrong,,, the sporter class stock design works good for those that grew up using them,,, but the other group of shooters that enjoy the natural hand grip so we can take full advantage of the Vartec design... So a person can order either design at their choosing,,, I'll admit that once a person try the pistol grip style that there ain't no going back... The savings in funds allowed me to use the left over cash to buy a Jewel target trigger... Having options is good,,, not only for the Tikka owners,,, but everyone that has custom made action that require a solid stock for shooting,,, like I mentioned on another thread,,, there are 2 to 3 X's as many rifle stocks on the market today apposed to rifles and actions,,, once a person handles a quality stock that is balanced to the rifle it's tuff going back to factor units,,, IMO only that is...
