I have a rem 700 in one, the version that has the full length bedding block. I guess it has had the stock for 14 years now. It has held up OK but the rubber "overmolding" can get scuffed. You can't really paint them so you need to like the color. Anyway, I've been satisfied enough with mine I'd get another if need be.

Ask George B . My guess is he will almost choke and then say "ugly".

Ive bought multiple hogue stocks for rifles. A lot of people really don't like them.

I like them a lot. I always buy the full aluminum bed as it is a full bedding block that runs the full length of the forearm

I like how they feel, and they seem to lessen the felt recoil quite a bit.

Every rifle I've put one on, the accuracy has stayed the same or improved, but has never decreased.

They seem very nice and - - - - - - - bouncy. Until you have to open the barrel channel or the inletting for one reason or another. If you wined the mill up to at least 3000 RPM and use good, sharp, new carbide end and ball mills with WD40 or sewing machine oil the rubber will cut without ripping or tearing.(NOT DISPOSABLE INSERT CUTTERS OF COURSE) The problem is that once you do it the rubber will often delaminate and unwrap from the stock body.


When I was a kid. I had the stick. I had the rock. And I had the mud puddle. I am as adept with them today, as I was back then. Lets see today's kids say that about their IPods, IPads and XBoxes in 45 years!

I had a custom that was built on a commercial FN action rebarreled to 264Win and put it into a Hogue stock and regretted it. If I was to restock another rifle I would spend a little more and get a Boyd or H.S. Precision or something offering a little more quality. The Hogues are heavy and grabby feeling, but if you like these attributes then by all means get what you like.
