Great stock but... - Boyds Hardwood Gunstocks Blaster Magnum Research MLR-1722M 920 Barrel Channel Stock

I was looking for a solid thumbhole stock for a 1022 target build. It came down to a Boyd's Blaster or TacSol Vantage stock. Here are a few considerations to maybe help other's decisions. The quality of both stocks are great IMO but the finish and grip on the Vantage are superior to me. I ended up using the Boyd's Blaster because for my size (6'+ tall), the Blaster's cheek weld is larger/higher/further offset to the right, the stock/butt pad is larger and the foreend has more barrel support for a 20" heavy bull barrel on a stock 1022 receiver (much stress on a slip-fit and V block).
