One thing I neglected to mention earlier which might help some out if considering the stock: The channel is definitely built for bull/varmint contour barrels. There is absolutely enough clearance for the 26" varmint contour shilen I am putting in with extra room if you wanted to put in a bull.

-If they start offering this in a LA my .25-06 is probably going to end up sporting one before too long; after I finish the current project I plan on rebarreling and re-stocking it. The dimensions of the stock feel really good to me, the price is right, and lets face it the spider-web is pretty darn sexy looking.
