Tony, If you are looking to shoot F Class, you need a stock with a flat underside to the butt to 'ride' the back bag. Tactical stocks like the AI are poor in this respect but the McMillan A5 is a good tactical stock that will work with a back bag.

Cheers Vince The AI and AICS and even the new AX stocks do have a poor underside design if you want to shoot it off a larger bag and it is very easy to get smacked on the back of the left hand by the dropped section just behind the thumb hole, the solution is easy enough though, add a bag rider. This one is for the T3 but demonstrates the principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Andy, Where can I view these, are there any suppliers in the UK for these stocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Jackson rifles sell the grodas stocks via their gun dealer networks, and SYSS have large stocks of Manners in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagged 77 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I've not handled the Grodas stock but I've got a KKC for a T3 which is very similar and it is superb. I would recommend a Manners but unfortunately they do not offer a standard inlet for the 595, however I know that you can adapt Rem 700 inlet but I believe its a fair bit of work.

Ronin Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Met a chap at Diggle this weekend who is a forum member, he is making laminate stocks. Trades under the name Joe West Riflestocks, the samples I saw were very well made from US sourced laminate, im pretty sure Sako and Tikka inletts were being considered. Worth thinking about.
