Also look at Manners F-Class Stock.
Hi Frank, thanks for your post. I like the look of the manners mostly however I don't like that the toe (underside) of the butt is recessed. It seems to me that the lower ends could very easily interfere with certain rear bags such as a SEB bigfoot (which I'm a fan of), when free recoiling.
You have a very nice rifle there, cheers.
DenisA, That picture on Manners website is incorrect. The stock on the bottom of the butt is flat. There is no hook on the underside etc....
G'day Andrew and Cam, thanks for the post. I'm keen to see some pics that Matty's going to email through of his lowrider stocks. Failing that, I'll look into the Shehane also.
Dennis a few thing that I look for in a good F stock are
Low centre of gravity Extended for end Good rear butt fit to rear bag For end sides prefer 20mm - 25mm side contact with bag & 90 degree to bottom Bottom of for end that contacts front bag to have rails either attached or machined out Lightweight so I can add weight to the butt Somewhat rigid for end but not too stiff Prefer laminate for the vibration absorption characteristics Prefer bolt in NOT glue in Adjustable recoil pad for length of pull and height of pad

G'day Richard,
That's a good list of characteristics. Most of them I have considered a lot in the past. The fore end sides is one that I haven't put a lot of thought in to, but have heard people talking about. I also prefer bolt in as I swap barrelled actions regularly. That said, I like the theory of glue in when it comes to custom rifles that only see barrels swapped. Practically, I have no experience with glue in.
Hi Denis Glue in is ok except when something goes wrong you will find out during an event I prefer to be able to strip my rifle down and re tension ever thing be for I use it in a competition Also there have been some very bad jew jew with glue in's when flying just worth considering.
My point about the sides is you can apply good wing pressure with out the fear of clamping the foreend to the front rest
