Unfortunately Kelbly no longer makes their Klub stocks for bench rest. Anyone know of anything comparable out in the world other than a McMillan Edge?

There are many choices better than the club for riding the bags with a light or heavy varmint class stock, Bat Machine offers a fine upgrade, TM Stockworks, Bruno Shooters Supply there are others if you search.
Bob “Scarbrough” stocks. The most popular stock in short range Benchrest. I shoot mine from 100 to 1000 yards.

Received email few days ago from Kelbly’s
Since launching our new actions, we have seen a drastic increase in orders for actions. Thank you to everyone who has chosen a Kelbly action!
To our direct customers and our dealers, we are truly grateful. This uptick in orders has caused us to re-evaluate how we work. We have shifted to 12 hours of production a day from 8 hours. We have also looked at the products that are costing too much labor compared to sales. With this knowledge we have decided to discontinue carbon fiber stocks and scope rings. Scope rings take a lot of machine and labor time away from actions, so to keep up with action orders we have to free this machine time and labor time up. Carbon fiber stocks had to be discontinued due to raw material costs. The cloth we use went up in price 10x and resin went up 3x. We can no longer produce economically priced stocks. We will offer XLR, Manners, McMillan, AG, and X-Ring stocks. We can build our rifles in any of these stocks. Pricing will be dependent on your custom choices for your rifle. Please reach out to us for a personal quote for your next rifle!

Does Bob make a long range stock similar to the Shehane ST-1000 ?

Noooooo! Only the one style of stock.
Did Kelbly make them or have them made for him. My guess is he has a lot of non metal machining work done for him.
It is my understanding that Kelbly's did in fact build the stocks in house and that they also made stocks for at least one other vendor.
when I toured their facility about a decade ago they made really nice stocks by hand

I'm just throwing out a suggestion but what about Bob Scoville's benchrest stocks? Not sure if they are still produced though.
