You didn't say if you were planning to compete in registered matches or not. If you are planning to compete in IBS or NBRSA matches, go to their repective web sites and read the rules on stocks. If you are shooting unregistered matches or just for fun any of the stocks on the web site you featured will do fine.

Those stocks are illegal for IBS and NBRSA competition except for maybe the long range classes.

What gun are you planning on putting this stock on? I am in the process of replacing a mcmillan edge with their standard HBR stock. Having 2 made up as we speak. I actually have one now and it is an improvement on the edge as far as I am concerned. The second one is having my dogs pic. painted on it. They are a great stock for a varmint rifle that doubles as a bench gun occasionally.

Hi Bob, I ordered the Richards micro in Blue coral Benchrest style.(no thumb hole or cheek)
For my 243AI Savage action.
Plan on using it for 1000yd benchrest. LV.
.. "Just learning" see if I can get competive..
I am in the process of getting a 8-32x56mm
nightforce,R2 reticle
And later this year hope to step up to a better rifle and cartrage, maybe a 300WSM or A 6.5-284.
I have shoot some good groups out to 600yds using 95gr berger vld's and 90gr barnes moly coated...
Late last fall I started having trouble with groups and after a hair pullin episodes.
I found the stock had split between the action screws. I made a repair and the good groups came back.
I didn't want to put to much in a stock so I thought Iwould try one from richards.
