Budget F-class stock?

[marchx]

Is there such animal as budget F-class stock? Or is it contradictio in adiecto?
In Europe the only affordable F-class-like stock is GRS. What are the option in the US if I look for a laminate stock?

Am i correct in assuming you're trying to get one shipped to Europe? I would think with all the hassle of getting one over there, trying to save money might not be worth it just because if there is anything wrong with it, it will be a pain to get repairs, etc done.
Is this for f-tr or f open? The stocks can be different. If I was ordering one, I'd consider getting one made of laminated wood because you can modify it with hand tools.
@Laurie here is a very knowledgeable shooter in the UK. He may know options for you.

Did you look at Dima?

 

[NZ_Fclass]

or Wood2Stock in the Netherlands and Dolphin in the UK, if you want to go the aluminum way.

This Yank went with the GRS HYBRID and couldn't be happier . Even waited for it for Four and a half months due to covid backlog . If you are skilled with hand tools , and wood-working , you might take a look at Richards Micro-fit out of Cali . They often have cheaper stocks available . I put one on a Custom Mosin , but had a lot of work in it to get it to par .

Of course. The question is- can I buy a Dima-like stock but cheaper. Is so, who can do that? Dolphin alu is a nightmare. The Dutch guy I don't know.

 

[Sandstorm]

Dima is your best bet Sir....you will not find any quality cheap.

 

[Dan-Schenk]

I like the one I got from @urbanrifleman . He is very responsive and good quality for the money.

Dima seems to have reasonable lead time in comparison to US manufacturers. If you do your research there are not so many options frankly speaking if you want to buy quality laminate or wood stock.

@urbanrifleman running four of these .
Price is right and not holding me up as in shooting.
I remove some of the Bedding Block and Bed the Action Area.

Doan Trevor did mine.

 

[marchx]

@urbanrifleman looks nice!

 

[urbanrifleman]

@urbanrifleman looks nice!

Yeah you figure you could buy the stock from me and send it to Doan and you're still right around $1,000 all done.

 

[marchx]

@urbanrifleman Speaking of stock I am wondering if adjustable cheekpiece is a most have for F-class.

No. Not f class. Maybe FTR.

My stock as it is is perfect.

 

[Sandstorm]

I do not use a cheek riser.....have one but dont use it.
You dont want to be leaning on your rifle at all.

Stock fit and handling is a very personal criteria, and regardless of price is not assured. After four different stocks, I ordered a Richards Microfit with extra wood so I could do the final fit that suited me, including shooting during the process. Low cost and beautiful hand rubbed oil finish! Yes it requires a bit of elbow grease but you get the fit at a low cost......
