Thread: Kroseg stocks (formerly hi tech)

Hi tech stocks seem to have a good reputation among forum members. Has anyone had any recent experience buying a Kroseg stock? Company has had a brand change since it was bought out by Hardy.

Can you just plug a tikka action in and shoot or should these be bedded also ?

Thanks

There's always a possibility that you will need to bed a composite, laminate, walnut, or synthetic stock, in order to get the most out of a rifle. Heck I've even had a chassis that needed some work.

If it comes with the alloy bedding block then it's plug and play like the Hi-tec stocks

I got one for a Howa mini not long after his untimely demise so not sure if it was old stock or manufactured under new management but I was up 4 clicks and perfect.

The alloy bedding block later versions were designed to drop straight in and torque up. Having said that I did get Ken to bed my Tikka, but thats just me, most of my rifles are and I wanted more bearing surface on the action.

They are good stocks, especially now the yank ones getting expensive. Drop it in and shoot see how shoots first and you are happy?

I had in my hand last week on a couple of glacier rifle company carbon stocks for tikkas. They are as well made as ken production , they have an internal aluminium v block and also a picatinny rail blended in with the fore end close to the tip. And their price is still around the 1200 mark I beleive .

Also , at some stage we are probably going to see some stocky’s carbon stock reaching our shores . Their prices should be reasonably competitive if the importer does not get too greedy.

I've emailed Kroseg about a few things and got timely and useful replies. I wasn't expecting that because Hardy have such a bad reputation re: customer service. They said that they would need the rifle for bedding which is interesting because I thought these things were plug and play.

What rifle are you looking at a stock for?
The Howa and Tikka stocks drop in or used to, you could certainly bed them but it is generally not needed.
My med lenght action needed bedding but that was a one off build

Tikka with a D18 barrel, but they mentioned bedding before I mentioned the barrel. Standard Tikka otherwise.

I think this is good advice as now that they are manufacturing stocks they can also bed recoil lug in correct place when bedding.

There's no right or wrong answer it really depends on to what level of accuracy you are after? Tikka will shoot fine dropped in or do you want everything eliminated that could prevent maximum accuracy potential?

Just ordered a hunter stock for my T3X from them. The response was pretty fast, all done through email. The lady pretty much replied within a couple of hours.

They can also customise the paint job. I got them to add some orange paint to the thundra Camo with no additional cost.

No glass bedding required. The weight is pretty good- around 715g compared to a lot of after market ones that’s around 1kg.

Have to wait until July for delivery though . Will let you know how it goes

How much does a hunter stock cost Alan?

I got the painted one for $1670. Stock carbon fibre non painted is $1350.

Was looking at getting the GRS hunter light (I’m a sucker for laminated wood), but at 1.3k cost plus the need to do glass bedding and the thing weighs 1.05kg (compared to 713g for carbon fibre) this seems like a much better choice.

The Stocky ones will be interesting to see, local prices are getting up there

I contacted stockys and they won’t ship/supply to NZ.

If anyone does manage to get one from them I will jump in on the order and split shipping etc
