Wanted: Shultz and Larsen Synthetic thumbhole Stock (black hunter/classic version)

Edited to say it’s not the rifle I’m after, it’s just the stock.
Just putting feelers out in case anyone has one of these they would like to sell on. Thanks.

They’re pretty decent, but rather floppy in the forend, so if planning to use by loading bipods or sling supported where you apply torque, I’d stick with wood or an aftermarket

That’s helpful to know, thank you. I really only shoot off sticks or resting on hand on shooting rail of high seat occasionally. Never off a bipod. Assuming you have one of these do you find the forend an issue shooting off sticks?

I've used a friends several times, so know it well. it shoot benchrest quality/accuracy off bench and sticks, and on bipod that was not torqued or loaded. I think, if you just know what you're doing and avoid torqueing the stock, you'll be good, but just keep in mind. also, don't buy a sling where you wrap it around your upper arm and pull it tight, that 'will' pull the stock onto the barrel

Good to know, thanks. It sounds like there could have been more done at the design/development stage of this stock!

only really an issue that can be resolved with either fibreglass or carbon fibre construction to be fair, all other synthetics suffer this issue.
