These look v-nice, shame they don't do an x-bolt model

I'd seriously consider it, but once again they won't fit a sako 75 action

Very similar to the PSE , E-Tac stock. The pse stock is very light wich is a huge advantage.

Those look quite nice too. What's the price like?

McAvoy Guns have them at £290. Looks like good value compared to other aftermarket stocks.

GRS custom rifle stocks - Tikka

There's one on my Christmas list!

I might have to buy another T3 just to fit this stock. Pillar bedded at £290 is a bargain.

I think the prices are on Edi's website. I can also tell you that Edi is a very nice man to deal with. On top of that his stocks are considered as being of the highest possible quality. Rifle smith's ,like Redmist on here, have high regards on these stocks.
I also want to say that I have NO financial or commercial intrests in PSE stocks.

My PSE is every bit as good as my McMillan A5........but far far lighter

That looks rather nice for the money. Shame they don't do one inlet for AI mags.

That's how it should be spelled; with an "E"! You can't trust them McAvoys, they're a bad lot. Not a patch on us McEvoys

Hi just saw this they are doing this stock for the x bolt now will be in the UK soon

My new GRS Berserk stock arrived in the post today and is a lovely bit of kit. The only problem is that the rear action screw is too long and it's protrusion prevents insertion of the bolt. A bit of grinding tomorrow I think!

That looks really nice.
Is it much heavier than the factory stock? I assume it is stiffer though?
One last question, is the barrel channel wide enough for a T3 varmint barrel?

 

[2506Shooter]

I'm afraid than in my excitement to fit it I neglected to weigh them both to compare! I don't believe that it's much heavier, but it certainly feels better balanced. With a ASE Utra SL5 moderator it felt quite front-heavy before but the shift rearward a of the centre of gravity helps.

I frankly never had an issue with the stiffness of the factory stock but the GRS is stiffer and more robust.

There's a radius of about 6mm extra around the the barrel on this T3 Lite, so I should think that a varmint barrel would be no problem.

I'll post some better photos once everything is fitted.

 

[Effnjeff]

That's great info, thanks very much.
I too have never had a problem with either of my T3 factory synthetic stocks, but just wanted to check the GRS was an improvement all round.
Finally, where did you get it from? I can feel a raid on the credit card coming on!
