[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1212629, member: 30902"] I'd suggest yo call look at McMillans. You can spend a lot less and get what you pay for. You can spend a whole lot more for no discernible gain. There are some "drop in chasis" stocks out there as well if you like sharp angles and edges and the super "tacticool" look. For sheer comfort and a stock you will always enjoy shooting the good ole M40 stock is really hard to beat. Their A3 sporter is a stock I'm definitely going to have to give a try someday as well. Precision stockworks here in Texas has a great design which they came up with and they have McMillan manufacture the stock for them. I love this stock and will probably at some point in the future own a couple of more of them. If you see something you really like in the McMillian line but are afraid to commit that much money without ever even having your hands on one call and talk to their customer service rep, tell her which you're interested in, and if they have a demo in the shop there they'll ship it to you for you try try for a few days and all it will cost you is the freight. Be sure and check over at "Stocky's Stocks" to see what they have in their inventory once you've made up your mind what direction you want to go. If you have to order a stock that isn't in inventory some where sometimes you'll be looking at 3-6 months wait time. It's probably already been said but it's always worth saying again. Once you settle on a smith and caliber talk to the smith who will be doing your build about what components they recommend. If you trust them to put it together and do all the machining required, trust them enough to follow their recommendations as far as components go and your experience will go pretty smoothly. [/QUOTE]
