Just received my Stockade Prairie Dog Special/Tactical with PTA inletting.
Was looking for something to shoot med-long range off the bench or in the field, talked to Kevin Rayhill at Stockade a few times and decided to go with the PD/T. Told him which action, barrel etc I would be using and also decided to have some weight added as this will not be a walking around gun by any means.
All of my dealings with Stockade were fantastic. They took the time to answer a lot of questions, were up front about wait times and even encouraged that I call from time to time to check on the build. Could not be happier with the service.
Now to the product-

I ordered the money saver option, which they describe as having minimal finish work, final inletting touches etc. As sent the stock was actually in really good shape. It took about 20 minutes to "finish" it, sand a few spots, chamfer some edges etc- but it looks and feels great and fits my action perfectly.
The pics show the rifle mocked up, I haven't painted it or fixed the scope etc, but so far I couldn't be happier with it. The moulding and machine work is excellent, fit and finish even for a budget option is great.
More reviews, pics and range reports to come but so far I would grade the product and service as an absolute A.
