I was wondering how well the pillar bedded version of the Hogue stock stands up to recoil. Would it handle something like a 375 BrownWhelen? I would glass bed the action. Just don't want to crack a stock.


As usual just my $.02

I have a pillar bedded Hogue on my custom stainless Ruger .35 Whelen. I find it handles recoil very well and has a nice soft recoil pad. Recoil is really not bad at all even with full power 250gr loads.

They handle recoil just fine although the shape of the stock really sucks. Their design team must have come up with that shape on a monday or friday! Needs a much more open grip for starters.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

I must be different, weird whatever. I like the way the Hogue stock fits. I have one on a 10-22 and I liked that one so much I put one on a custom mauser 98 in 338 win. The recoil is very manageable. I have shot 06's that kicked a lot worse. I like the grip the rubber has as well. I guess its just a matter of taste. The folks in the Alaka forum like the Ruger Alaskan with the Hogue stock.

I like their stocks performance fine. I just detest that damn tight grip & the flare at the bottom.

I use them on my 338 Win Mag and a couple 300 Win Mags and they work great.
