FYI,I ran across this stockmaker in Warsaw,MO.Believe it`s either the old Fajen or Bishop company,but they have XP center grip stocks,looks like a close copy of the HS stock,made from walnut for $100..Ordered one this morning..Had them in stock..

I am curious as to how much fitting is required. Nice lookin' stock.

Ive looked at them before. Only thing I've ever heard from them though is their reviews seem to be hit or miss.

Price seems good!!! Let us know how you like it.

Cayle,

Scot (Paperpuncher) got one and seems to like it. maybe he'll chime in.

I got one last year....this was my first ever attempt. You'll have to some sanding
and there is some inlet to do to get a proper fit. I did bed the action, also first time ever doing this. I enjoyed the whole experience.... And can consistently shoot quarter groups or better at 100 yards......something about doing a project and seeing the end results. I did make a few mistake but that's how we learn and as you stated for $100 you can built a nice stock, in my opinion. It does resemble a HS stock. Let us know your thoughts......i did use inletting ink which helped me see the high spots. Have fun.

got the stock 2 days ago..now this is one of the roughest semi finished stocks I have ever got.And there is no provisions for the rear action screw.It`s not a problem for me as I`ve got the lathe and mill,for the novice it will be a problem.About 3/4 up the forend it looks like they glued a lighter piece of wood on,as it`s a straight line all the way across forend,from light wood to dark.So `ill be starting on it in a day or so..Maybe that's why they call it an XP sample stock..
