Somebody here was looking for one of these recently, there's a new set for sale on eBay,
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1864868458
It's up to $125.00, that's more than I'd pay for it but I guess it depends on how bad you want one.

Yes, I bid on it for awhile, but at it's current price I can instead purchase the semi-finished Western Gunstock thumbhole grips I love to use, AND all the stuff to finish it [Eek!]

Sean -
Can you provide more info on the stocks you mention? Don't think (just ask my wife and daughters...) I've ever heard of them.

THanks,
steve

Steve,

The thumbhole grips I am speaking of are those I use on my long range rifle-scope equiped rimfire T/Cs. They are put out by a fellow in CA who owns Western Gunstock, and also distributed by EABCO.

They are only available in semi-finished form, though the Foxridge Outfitters used to sell them fully finished in both a stock and a grip version. Now Foxridge only deals in the stock.

Here are some pics of the last one I ordered, in the midst of being finished.

And here it is finished and on the Match 22lr turtle gun.

These are available from EABCO for $119.00 in semi-finished fully inlettd form, and also come with a target width forend.

Steve,

These are the finest grip I have ever used for long range rested shooting of a Contender.

Not very good for off-hand, but I do not believe that they were really meant for such [Big Grin]

Give me one of these grips, a 11" VVCG or Bullberry free-floated forend, a 6br Harris bipod, a good target rifle scope, and a mild to medium recoiling 14" + barrel, and I will have much fun anihilating little varmints at long range [Big Grin]

Steve,

Yes, I noticed that the other day when I was thumbing through the old issues of the VHA Magazines I was sent.

Old George Peterson [Western Gunstock owner] is an interesting fellow to talk to. He makes these thumbhole stock sets in a curly maple and some other interesting woods as well.
