[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 2675704, member: 13"] The Borden Alpine XP (Clone (-100 action) can be ordered in left bolt/left port Your center-grip stock options are limited (they have been for awhile anyway). You can order a McMillan (solid fill fiberglass) without inletting, and let your smith do that. You can order a Rockwell Stock (laminated) in left bolt/left port and it will be inletted. Not to be mean but the Rockwell stocks have had some breakage problems in the past in the grip area (both in rear grip and in center-grip stock). I have been told that Jim Jr has reinforced that area. The other issue is that the barreled action does not sit down far enough in the stock, which causes the trigger to not be down far enough. I have been told these issues have been addressed. There was a time where Jim Jr. was extremely hard to get a hold of and things took a long time for orders to come through. [B]I want there to be more options for center-grip XP's.[/B] I have three Rockwell stocks myself when his dad (Senior) was running it. They are beautiful. The action not sitting low enough was a problem then, and there was some grip breakage issues then with some other customers as well. Senior always made it right. Things happen and things break. This is a reality of life. I have this problem from time to time with my SEB products, and you make it right quickly when it happens. Jim Sr is a friend, and he has been good to the handgun competitions. [/QUOTE]
