Title: New A-Bolt Stock?
Post by: alecvg on August 14, 2009, 11:24:15 PM: Looking for a new stock for my A-Bolt to buy in the next couple years, since mine is HEAVY, and has a crack in it, sut looking, no idea if I will ever do it, but what do you guys think of this one:

Looks cool to me, just wouldn't be the best stock for all types of hunting, would be good for the high country though, but not for lower deer hunting where deer can be spotted moving and you only have limited time to shoot. Does anyone swith the stock for different types of hunting?

:dunno:
you could also look at bell and carlson stocks, they're decent.
