[QUOTE="logic factory, post: 668309, member: 38148"] sounds like, based on your experience, that the thumb wrap around is for the harder hitting rifles? this is valuable and will likely have me leaving more material in that area as i could always remove more if for some reason i do not like where my thumb lays. thank you for posting your experiences. i will keep mr. russo in mind if for some reason i fail to produce a satisfactory stock. my father will be helping me on this project and i am confident it will come out well. we are both perfectionists but he has the skills to take advantage of it at this time where i am still developing mine. i have removed some of the complexity from the in-letting and cutting for the action process plus i have lots of time, which was the parting advice you offered. i think i will be able to develop the single shot follower into the stock too. seems this would also help take some load off the recoil lug? i should be going to my fathers this weekend with the goal to; plane(sp?) and laminate the 3 boards together. i may also look to try and optimism the woods features for cutting the stock this weekend too. i have also thought more about the design and because i plan to keep both the top and bottom edges of the stock straight and parallel from about the bolt channel to recoil lug i will likely start off with the stock as a more traditional shape; having it surround the barrel. if i do not like it it i could always remove it like i have in the crude drawings above. thank you both for the feedback!
