We have a local company here that makes stocks Manners Composite stocks)but they are expensive they are right across the street from GA Precision you can spend a bundle on that block

Well now I screwed up and started looking at HS precision stocks. I’ll probably end up going with one of their PSS010 stocks in woodland camo.

H&S Precision looks like very fine composite stocks. :)

@Whisky Sorry for me getting this thread so far off original topic. Guess I got too carried away.

Here she is minus scope. As you can see, it's a lefty, which were kind of hard to come by.

The finish is kind of a rough 'wrinkle' texture which makes for non-slip grip and non-reflective.

Someday, I may get the steel cerakoted.

.243 Winchester may no longer be as popular as the trendy new calibers like 6.5 CM, but ammo is ubiquitous and cheap. It's all I need for Kansas whitetails.

Yeah, that’s nice!

Does anyone own a rifle with a Magpul hunter stock? I took my Rem. 700 out today for the first time in years to get it zeroed in for deer season. Shooting it made me remember how much I hate the factory stock. This is a hunting rifle, not a long range tack driver, so I don't need a $600 stock. I like that the Hunter has an aluminum bedding block and the options for accessories including adding Magpul's detachable box magazine system. Cost is under $300 (barely). Other stocks that I see in the same-ish price points would be some of the B&C products, Boyd's laminated, and Hogue overmolded which honestly I've pretty much ruled out already.

As is with the factory stock and factory ammo I was easily getting 4 shot groups within 1.5 inches at 100yds shooting off of bags on a very unsteady table. Not tack driver groups but definitely deer killer groups. I'm hoping to tighten these groups up a little with a new stock and hand loaded ammo.

Any other brands I should look at? Any reason I shouldn't get the Magpul?

I get that MagPul is reasonably priced equipment, but have you seen a negative review on the Hunter stock?
I haven’t. And I have read lots of reviews. :)

This is what I ended up going with. I think I’m going to be happy.

I got the grey/black splatter pattern which should be a good base color for the camo paint job I’m going to do on it. Lost of greys around here during hunting season and not a lot of greens.

What did you pay for it? Hope you post pics when you get the rifle put together.

HS Precision is good stuff. Pics when it’s done. :)
Dropped the receiver into the stock today. It’ll stay like this for a while, too cold to paint anything here for the next 2-3 months. Once the stock is painted and back on I’m going to pull the scope, align/lap the rings, and then put it all back together. The stock stock was literally a hollow piece of plastic.

Closeup of the texture. It’s very grippy. C7C37F02-0118-41CC-86CB-8BD8678B3BFD.jpeg
The pic doesn’t really show it well but the barrel is perfectly centered in the barrel channel. I can easily slide a piece of card stock all the way up the barrel.

Unfortunately with the cold weather I’ll probably have to wait until spring to really stretch it out to 3-400yds. I may be able to get out to 100yds if we get a few days of warm weather.

Yeah, that looks really nice! What did you pay for it again? I might need to change my mind about the MHS for my Ruger 6.5. :)

It was $326 with Tax. The 25% off coupon that opticsplanet sent me was what sealed the deal.

Was it like a membership discount or just a general online offer?
I just got one of those we haven’t seen you for a while and we’re sorry if we did something to drive you away here’s a 25% off coupon code type email. Basically, you haven’t spent any money here for a while here’s something to help you do that. I was surprised that the code worked for the stock and that they had one in stock. I’ve found that overall opticsplanet has better prices on a lot of things the other well known shooting stores carry, but their inventories are usually much lower. They’ll list a price but rarely have the item in stock.

Putting me on back order is like hitting Superman over the head with kryptonite. I get really sick and just want to die! :)

30-06. I originally bought the rifle solely for the action. My intent was to turn it into an old school 30-06 long range target rifle, but then a .338RUM fell into my lap. The ‘06 is now going to be strictly a hunting rifle.
