Unfinished, little or no fitting is required. Includes thick ventilated recoil pad, drilled for your sling swivel studs. DM (detachable magazine) models only. Magnum reinforcement with magnum barrel channels. Perfect for belted mags, ultra mags as well as Winchester Short Mags and Remington SAUM chambered rifles.
The difference between BDL and DM bottom metal is the side slots for the release buttons. Conversions between models are easily accomplished. See our Tech Pages for details.
A note about using rifles chambered for standard cartridges in magnum barrel channels: The difference in thickness averages 0.030" (thirty-thousandths of an inch). That is .015" on either side, about the thickness of a piece of common gray cardboard or thereabouts. Yor gun will shoot like a house afire but you're on your own from the looks standpoint. Guess it's a matter of priorities, hell is it a hunting trip or a fashion show?? Mags fit like a glove however - no issues with them ....
Best for long range work, the Ross 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. (I have one on my .300 Ultra!) It is also a very handsome stock, sporting a gracefully tapered thumbhole, gracefully flared yet meaty pistol-grip and unique rolled-cheekpiece (see inset in pic above.)
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.
The Ross is 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.

INVENTORY CLEARANCE NO BACKORDERS
We have a few with the Remington R3 pads that were installed at the factory but are not a perfect fit and are slightly large. The 1/2" standard pads were hand fitted to the stock.
