100% Carbon FIber shell stocks

Ok I know they aren't the first... yet these look pretty cool at a glance.

These are still in prototype stage but this NZ company has some very innovative features including changable grips.

As usual initial release will be sa/la rem 700 foot print. Cost of prototype $1200-1500 NZD somewhere in the $778-977 USD if I remember.

Looks like the intent is to scale up production for export. The first version looks to be designed and geared towards the LRH needs.

There is guy in Motown who makes an all carbon fiber stock for remmy that he glues the action to it. Mr Duddley at my club has a few for his benchrest (point blank) guns.

These look interesting and hopefully won't cost an arm and a leg.

I mean, whats the point of CF stocks anyway? The weight? Most rifles that are setup for precision accuracy want a good bit of mass to reduce recoil / muzzle jump anyway.

I was vibing on the features. Grips, thumb wheel adjustable cheek rest.

Nathan Foster was one of the "experts" whose input was asked for. Sounds like he actually has a non paying position on their board as a consultant.

I expect it will be well made beneath the skin as well.

The weight could be managed a number of ways. This initial version seems to be geared towards hunting more then competition.

I just think its about time someone offers a more classic styled stock with much requested and modern features enabling better fit and stability out of the box.

McMillan's the closest and if nothing else this company is raising the bar as long as they don't price these out of existence.

Very interesting. I'd like to hear what they'll cost when available.

it weighs around 2.6lbs, that's nice for a hunting outfit. lop can be 12-15". very interesting, hope the price is reasonable.
