Decent product for the investment - Hogue Ruger 10/22 Rubber OverMolded Stock with .920in Diameter Barrel Ghillie Green 22810

I have used at least five of these over-molded Hogue rifle stocks on a trio of different platforms in recent years, including two Rem 700 SPS, a Mini-14 and this is the second Ruger 10/22 Target model. The main reason for subtracting one star is the penchant for these stocks to be too flexible when you lean the forearm onto something hard, allowing the stock to come into contact with the barrel. This flaw defeats the purpose of the "free float barrel" concept and compromises repeatable accuracy. For the $75-$85 that you will get these Hogue stocks for online, it is what it is...this is not a $500 Choate, A/I or Bell & Carlson stock that are totally rigid and built from skeletonized aluminum frames, which are then over-molded with thick rubber material. The Hogue features a very flexible plastic internal frame. On a Ruger 10/22 target model, it's no big deal. On a Rem 700 sniper rifle, it's a much bigger deal and I went with the better, more expensive stocks on these.

The standard Ruger laminated wood stock that came with my 10/22 Target Match rifle had a hiccup after the second time out and lost its grip on the rear of the receiver, free-floating both the barrel and the action as they randomly pivoted on the single stock bolt. This obviously was not great for consistent hits downrange. The Hogue stock solved this problem nicely, and as long as I don't put too much pressure on the forend, the Ruger Target's free float bull barrel should give me excellent accuracy.
