There's nothing good about a Howa stock, they're awful things.

The first time I touched one(on the rack in the shop) I squeezed the forend toward the barrel as you do and burst out laughing. Had to apologize as there were some other customers around.:innocent:

Yeah the Hogues feel nice for sure but at the end of the day they are spongy pieces of shit just like everything else

I think that in terms of stocks CZ would have to be my favorite, especially the FS models.... holy hell they have old world engineering quality and craftsmenship written all over them!

The CZ stocks (Mod 550, including FS) are set up for iron sights and as a consequence make it difficult to get a good cheek weld with a 'scope. Its a problem with a lot of European stocks. Unless you have a wry neck.

Give smiddy a pm mate, he has done it an is giving away a very nice rifle
Savage 6.5-06 | Trade Me

Quite a few funky projects for F/TR or F-Open rifles based on Savage Stevens actions.

This one in particular : http://www.6mmbr.com/gunweek075.html

Yea worked that out over the last year and a bit:D

Did he ever do the unthinkable trade for his Sako?

Theres a lot of support for Tikka now, I'd build a custom gun off one of them

sounds alot like you are bored Bevis.

buying into a shitter is never a good idea, 500 + stock + nice glass +enevitably new rings/bases to match becomes a not cheep rifle

Kimber make nice rifles, selling the sako to get a kimber is probably acceptable
