Excellent stock but needed some grinding too fit - Hogue Howa 1500/Weatherby S.A. Heavy/Varmint Bar. Full Bed Block OD Green 15212

I love the feel of Hogue stocks over my 2 Oryx chassis and Bell and Carson stocks. All the stocks work just fine but 2 of the non-chassis stocks required some grinding for a proper free floating fit. If the barrel is a #4 heavy Sporter or a heavy Palma then grinding is required. In the present stock, the barrel was a #4 Sporter requiring a lot of stock material to be removed from both sides and the tip. I had to use a drill rasp over a 2 hour period removing material and testing the fit. The fit is now perfect. The green color is nice. The full bedding block is a solid fit. I have another S.A. Heavy/ Varmint Full Bed stock in the Tan color which was a perfect fit for a #3 Sporter without any modifications. Lots of people say a chassis is the way to go, but I found them to heavy and a poor choice for mobility. Hogue stocks are lighter requiring less effort in shouldering a 22" up to a 26" barreled rifle.
