The Tacticools are avail pre-channeled for Bull barrels if you like. Or you can open it up well beyond 1 inch by wrapping a wooden dowel or something similar with sand paper and sand it . I've done a few as have many others in the forum here.
here is a link to their tacticool inletted for the 110 top bolt release blindmag stagger feed. :http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/produc...07692&cat=1215 Your specific model might not be avail straight from the factory ready for drop-in fit, but they can all be easily inletted by hand yourself. The barrel channel is especially easy. :) good luck with it.
There is plenty of material on the tacticool forend to open it up for a varmint weight barrel. Just finished one.
Yep, me too. The detachable magazine version I got from them was only available for the factory sporter profile. I wrapped some 80 grit paper around a deep-well socket and worked on it for awhile. Not sure I have much in the way of fingerprints on my fingers anymore, but the stock came out great.
