Light varmint stocks?

But I would not glue it. Just my personal preference. If needing any kind of work, just a pain to do with it glued in. I have a 6PPC that's glued in.
 
Wow look at the price, I remember when you could get a Scoville for under 1k, and I thought that was expensive a Kelbly stock was I think around $3-400
No wonder this sport is shrinking, it's just getting beyond the average persons reach

A coax rest was under 1k, now almost 3k, a full length press was about $200, now $800

The consumables, barrels and bullets are the bargains, they haven't doubled in price.......yet

But to start in this sport where everyone gets told to buy the most expensive available or they have to have X to be competitive they would need to have about $20k+ to equip themselves

Is it any wonder the Supershoot has shrunk from over 300 competitors to less than 100, once they get the gear, if they can afford it, they can't afford the powder primers bullets and travel expenses

I would be looking for a used McMillan, Scoville, Kelbly's etc... Or you could probably buy a complete rifle for less than the price of the Italian stock!! Too funny! Deals are out there, for pennies on the dollar, but you may have to be patient for a little while. A lot of it is how serious are you about being competitive? If you are dead serious, it will get expensive just for the consumables at today's prices. If you just want to beat up on your buddies at local club matches it is much more affordable. Either way, have fun and keep us posted.

The shooting hobby is subject to supply and demand like everything else. The demend is there for light varmints but no supply. The reality is theres no money in it. The guys like Scoville, Hunter, Leanard where not making a living, it was side money. They sold them way to cheap and no ones rushing in to take over. Thats just my opinion on the matter.

2K for a stock is rather cheap compared to some of these Fclass stocks with highly figured wood, I've crunched the numbers with a few customers and we've tallied up $3500 all said and done with initial price of stock inlet and bedding and paint/clear.
