I'm up in castlemaine I've ordered one and awaiting arrival they got some good reviews in the US so I thought I'd try one out see how it goes did you have any trouble with the action screws there was reports that the rear one was a tad short

Do they make a left handed version, I already have a l/h choate u/sniper stock, but the new style would be good for a 2 bolt/switch barrel setup I am looking at
cheers

Just picked up my stock from the PO drop in fit it is took all of 2 mins

Some points of interest
. It's heavy dont have scales but considerably heavier than the wood stock that was on it
. Some machining is a tad rough (Im not that anal but others may need to clean it up)
. Barrel channel is huge
. Foreend is very wide should be very stable off a bar for spotlighting
. I butt end and pistol grip is bulky i have small hands and find it perfect not reaching for the trigger just really confortable
. Rear action screw needs to be 1-2mm longer
. Recoil pad is really good and soft
. Not as good as a Mcmillan but is also $600 cheaper than one (price was $445 Delivered from The Gunsmiths of Sefton NSW)

my fav feature is the fore end rail. thinking of having them installed on my other rifles.

so easy to make adjustments to bipod position, for switching between prone, sitting over rocks/logs or offhand. (i prefer a diff bipod position for each due to balance of rifle, front hand position and posture etc)
