Exactly. If he wants to go carbon later he can look into a Stug stock. Light enough now as it is.

I've done the same with my tikka that I'm tricking out, loving it so far.

Look at Ken Hendersons stocks he does a beautiful job. This is mine

Wow, those do look slick. I am mates with the owner of Kiwi Composites, currently got one of his stocks on my 7RM which I'm happy with. Very impressed with Ken Hendersons though! @Ryan_Songhurst

You can bed the channel at the cost of about 50gms if that really bothers you, i was going too but I quite like the fact I can knock and grass or moisture etc out of my barrel channel

Good idea i didnt think of that do get me wrong they are awsome stocks and well finished i did fit a better pad as those little thin ones dont last long when using them as a walking stick

Don't forget the added cooling feature by having that open barrel channel I looked at filling mine in too, but I got used to it in no time.

I just used a carbon barrel now a nice 2mm gap

Serous Shooters have always looked after me. They know how important it is to look after their customers, rather than trying to gouge the last cent out of them.
