Experience with Hogue stocks...

[LCH]

This might be a bit of a departure, but have you considered a Boyd's laminate stock? If I was in your shoes, I think this is the direction I might head. I don't have alot of experience with Hogue stocks, but I don't care for the feel.

I second this. I replaced the plastic stock on a Mossberg with a Boyd's laminate stock. Very happy with it considering it only ran me a little over $100.

I have 3 rifles with hogue stocks with full aluminum. All three shoot less than 1/2 moa at 1000 yards. Yes they are on the heavy side but I like that. My 308 one shoots 1/4 moa at 800.

..............mines close to what you are shooting only a bit shorter.

Less than 5 inches at 1000? If that is the case, I bet there is more to it than just bolting on a Hogue. If there is a B&C Alaskan for that rifle, I'd go that route. Inexpensive, with or without aluminum. Course I only have one 1/s MOA rifle with an Alaskan. The rest wear bedded factory stocks. mtmuley

I guess we all know how he feels about you:

I like to have a few extra Hogues lying around the shop so I can give them out as gifts to people I don't really like.

That's odd. Makes me wonder if the Good For You sticker he put on it was sincere...

Maybe they changed them

They did.

Hogues are known for that...

Plus, I don't see that Bell and Carlson lists Ruger.

Get a takeoff synthetic for a Hawkeye and a box of Acraglass.

Hogue with the Full Bed Block is good for the money. I would not hesitate to buy one
