Best for long range work, the Classic Thumbhole has been widely acclaimed as the most accurate and softest-recoiling field stock on the market. Virtually impervious to magnum recoil, super-steady to hold - Outstanding for Tacticians, Varminters, accuracy buffs or rock-solid cross canyon shots with your Magnum. Makes a .300 feel like shooting a .308 Win. It is also a very handsome stock, sporting a gracefully tapered thumbhole, gracefully flared yet meaty pistol-grip and unique rolled-cheekpiece.
It's widely held that laminated stocks create the best combination of wood-like beauty, balance, durability and accuracy of all gunstocks available. However it is not well known why:When a laminated blank is made, the color-dyed hardwood sheets are compressed in synthetic resin permanently bonded under thousands of pounds of pressure. This process completely impregnates the wood pores with a transparent synthetic material. This means that these stocks have all of the advantages of plastic stocks without the dull look, feel and muzzle-heavy balance of an injection-mold or fiberglass unit. Perhaps most importantly, they are far more silent in the woods ... no game-spooking "tink-tink" sound when accidentally tapped by a limb or neck-slung game call in the field.
These are available in a wide range of inlettings to accommodate most barreled actions with factory barrel contours. They can be easily glass bedded with or without pillars.

100% American Made - Carved for you from best-quality Vermont Rutland Corporation hardwoods, the sole manufacturer of laminated hardwood materials in North America. Please do not settle for that cheap imported junk. I have been in the wood business for over 20 years and can tell you some real horror stories.
Unfinished VIP - sanding and clearcoat finishing is required, that is why this unit is about 40-50% less than the finished units!
Virtual Inlet Parts (VIP) references stocks that have been precision machined with the intention of eliminating hand fitting. We do not install our house actions into the final stocks; therefore, on certain models it may be necessary to perform very simple inletting tasks. (i.e. Square the corners of the recoil lug area, etc) Exteriors are completely shaped, and in areas of wood to metal fit, we have left proud wood over metal so you can do final fitting to get that perfect wood to metal fit. The broad faces of stock are rough sanded to a 100 grit scratch pattern. Tight radius's have machining marks filed out for added ease of final sanding.

These units are inletted for the FBC or Factory Barrel Channels. Sporters and many magnums will drop in but can be modified easily for most fluted / standard target / varmint barrels although the varmint thumbhole is a better choice for heaviest barrels. No bolt handle slot on Mausers. Read our Technical Pages for barrel fitting and finishing instructions.
