Hogue overmolded

[debubba]

Does any one hav any experiance with the hogue overmolded stock. I am concidering them and would like to know what opinion people have of them. Thank you.

I had one and every piece of dust sticks to the rubber,it drove me nuts and the forend of the stock is a little flexable. It was comfy for hunting,but not my cup of tea.I prefer fiberglass or wood.

I have three of them. I love em for hunting and general shooting/plinking. I like the way they feel grippy. I don't care if it gets wet and it's pretty rugged in that they won't ding easily if dropped or knocked over.

I have two with the bedding block and the action bolts up tight in it. I like it so much that I'm putting a Borden ssr rimrock in one chambered in 7-08. This will be my all round one gun rig for hunting.

The other one just has the bedding and pillar blocks. I like it just fine to.

I respect jon's opinion. I plan to only use them for hunting and shooting, not bench work.

The whole surface of the gun is like a S&W rubber revolver grip if you've ever felt that. Slightly squishy, great "gription". The surface can retain fine grit and grime, but then it doesn't scratch like a gloss finish. Stock will remain gripy even in the rain or if your hands are very sweaty. Can be bare-handed more comfortably when it's very, very cold. Overall, like others, I'd only have it on a gun that was spending most of the time getting drizzled on in a very wet climate.

They definitely have their use in hunting situations for sure.

I know the Hogue's personally, they are great people. They are shooters who make products
for shooters. I will always recommend there stuff!

Recreational stock. I loved the mushy recoil pad, but as I got more serious about having a solid shooter, I upgraded to an HS and had is skim bedded.

Not much for me to add that hasn't already been said except to say I love mine. Its on a .308 hunting rifle and has the full bedding block. I do not wear gloves when hunting and love the "gription" . I put a Harris bipod on mine when i take it to the range.

How is the stock for drop etc? Any issues with high mounts?

I have a hogue over moulded on a 280AI and I like the feel. It is pillar bedded and if you take enough out from the barrel channel it works good. It is quite heavy compared to a HS precisionor a bell&carlson.

Over all i would say i like it. It really needs extra room under the barrel for use with bipod or when it fires it will come in contact with the barrel.

They make a nice Ruger 10/22 stock, it feels and fits me perfectly.

Don't EVER try to paint one, even with that rubberized paint.... don't ask how I know. The results, you will not like.
