Do many of you guys have one? I just ordered one for one of my Ruger M77's. I didn't find many manufactures that make stocks for the M77 with a tang saftey. So any way, I have one coming and was wondring if anyone had anything good or bad to say about them?
 
The Savage ones I have seen all have the same problem. They need the barrel channel sanded out on the right side.
 
Make sure and give us a report. I have a few on guns that I have purchased, but never actually performed the modification myself.
 
I have used them and had good luck with them. From what I have experienced they are just as good as anyone elses. I recently bought a McMillan A-5 and not only had to sand the barrel channel on one side but I had to fight them to get the "free" guncase that was supposed to come with the stock. I got it about a year later.
 
I have an A2 medalist varmint/tactical on my Remington 700. It fit the stock rifle fine. Plenty of barrel float and an even channel. I recently had the action trued with oversized lug installed and changed my barrel profile. Of course nothing fits right now. It seems very sturdy and I love the vertical grip on mine. The only downside is weight, but it does have a metal mono block in it. Mine is getting bedded here shortly to make up for the recent fit issues caused by my rebuild. In my opinion, the A2 is horrible for offhand and off the sticks shooting. Mine was purpose built as a prone varminter and it works great for that.
 
Have 2 of the medalist on 700 remingtons and they fit pretty close but I had to sand some areas down around the safety and around the bolt area. But not that much and it was done in about 5min.
 
Thought about trying on myself and was curious as to how well the camo patterns such as MOBRUSH hold up ie. do they
flake or peel? surely they are not molded in like a mcmillan.

I have had several and have had some drop right in and a few needed a little sanding and fitting in the pillars. McMillan or Manners they are not, but also you are not paying that price. I would put the construction more like hs precision than the others. I think for the price they provide a good solid shooting platform.
 
Well it showed up here yesterday. So far so good. I just got a plain black one since I will be putting a krylon job on it anyway.

It's was all but a drop in job really. The only place I ran into any trouble was at the back of the trigger guard. The guard needed a little more room in the channel. I just went and grabbed my Roto-zip and carefully expanded the area. I probably only took off about 1/8 of and inch of material. Other than that it fits really good. The barrel is fully floated.

I haven't got a range report for you yet. Maybe tomorrow if I can sneak way for a bit. I will be interested to see if the accuracy changes. This was always a sub M.O.A. gun before. So I hope it stays that way. If not I will keep working with it until it is again.
