Thread: HS Stock conversion -- opinions please

I have just rescently got my HS varmint stock after 2 years waiting for my mod70 300wsm.

project nearly finished now need to have suppressor rebuilt due to the stock length change.

i have concern though. has anyone had issue with wear on the HS stock? i have a matt black finish to mine but it doesnt feel very hardy. i recn its going to scratch and dent to buggery in the hills.

should i coat with a harder compound?

this is in comparrison to my BandC stock and mates mcmillian

im sure you all have your comments and opinions lets hear them.

cheers

The matt finish will eventually wear to a shiny gloss finish but thats hardly a worry, they do mark easily enough around rocks and trees but thats life when hunting.

Mate you should see the walnut on my 85,looks like iv been using it for a slasher(I havent) the first couple of dents and scratches nearly made me cry but im well over it now
Just use it....... you can always recoat later if it gets tatty.

Not overly concerned just doesn't seem as hardy as the 30% cheaper b&c

Just spray it with a rattlecan when it gets worn, it's made to be used.
