In the middle of this last move, I noticed that the recoil pad is shot (haha) and is torn in half. How it happened, I will never know. It had already started to tear last time I was out.
Along with the other things I do not like about the stock (flexy front end, finish peeling off, carsten cheek piece in the wrong place), I think I am going to go with a new stock.
After a lot of looking, I think I have settled on a Stockade Stock and just finish it up myself (Pretty competent when it comes to finish work).
My questions:
Does anyone have the Woodchuck style stock from them? What do you think of it? Like or dislike?
(hijacked from their site)
What fill did you use for your long range elk/deer slayer?
Is it worth the upgrade to the adjustable cheek for $110? (I have another rifle to use the karsten on. Tired of constantly adjusting the cheek piece to clean rifle, always in the way and hard to get back to the same place.)
Is the 1" pad worth it on a 300winmag? Or is the 1/2" acceptable? Don't want to rattle fillings or eyeballs loose.
Am I missing anything?
Thanks in advance.
