[QUOTE="2BrownDogs, post: 1840028, member: 113288"] Forgive me for yet another “help me decide” thread, but I’m stuck. I’m looking for a western hunting rifle (elk, deer, bear, moose if I ever draw a tag) in 28 Nosler for ranges out to 800 yards max. I’ve been studying the CA models as well as the Seekins Havak PH2, both models are offered in 28 Nosler. Here’s the kicker, I want a thumbhole stock since I’ve had my trigger finger amputated, and pull the trigger with my middle finger. I held a AG Composites Ferrata today and it’s exactly what I’m looking for, unfortunately it’s $750 by the time I get sling attachments and/or rail for bipod. I can get the Mesa online for $1,118, the Ridgeline for around $1700, and about the same for the Havak. To offset the cost of the aftermarket stock, I’ll want to offload the factory stock. I’ve seen a few factory stocks for both models (Mesa and Ridgeline stock is the same) for sale on a couple forums, but I wonder what the demand is for either of them? I felt like I saw the stock on the Havak is a McMillan, although I haven’t been able to confirm that. Are there any costs associated with swapping stocks that I’m not considering? I’m sure there will be some Smith labor for proper bedding. Any and all help is appreciated, I’m a relative newbie. TIA [/QUOTE]
