Completely finished with carved cheekpiece. Includes butt pad and sling swivel studs. Little or no fitting required on sporters and minor barrel floating with magnums. They are among the easiest stocks to glass bed with or without pillars.
These JRS Classics are often heralded as the most reliably accurate riflestocks under the widest range of outdoor elements; from winter coyotes through Rocky Mountain elk season and into to the spring-time African Plains game. I know of units that have been subjected to unintended field tests courtesy of unruly horses, buggys, ATVs, etc. that kept right on hunting.
The wood construction also improves the balance and heft of the rifle. Unlike comparable synthetics you'll enjoy a very solid feel, and are among the easiest sporters to hold steady on distant targets. Many argue that they are the most durable ... I have a strong tendancy to agree. Unless your horse stands directly on the magazine box I can't imagine how you'd break one and even then I wouldn't bet against it. I've accidentally had them drop onto a concrete floor with not so much as a nick in the thick catalyzed finish.
In other words, you can bet that it will quickly become your go-to-gun in the lions share of situations. You may even end up with several.

Pedigree:
Designed by the noted firearms/hunting writer Jon R. Sundra, this stock is a synthesis of all the fast-handling and easy-to-carry design elements found in the most elegant examples of the Classic Style. Fans of these units agree they are the best-looking, most reliable and fastest hunting handles money can buy.
The slender, somewhat open grip is well defined, but does not extend too far below the toe line. The comb is parallel to the bore, which aids scope use, and because of its straight-line design, minimizes cheek slap under recoil. Additional facial support is provided by a graceful cheekpiece that blends perfectly with the overall shape of the buttstock. The forend is flat-oval in cross-section, and proportioned to complement barrels of 18-26” in length.
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, permanately 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 accidently tapped by a limb or neck-slung game call in the field.
