The Wheeler F-Open (WFO) Stock

I was going through some old pictures and found these. I thought it may be interesting. This was a stock I was working on with Kelly McMillan before McMillan was sold. There were a couple changes I wanted in the butt section before going into production. But it never came to be. I think about 6 were made. We finally got there though.

I encountered a few significant challenges as I immersed myself in the F-Class competition. First, choosing which products to buy feels like navigating a maze. And once you finally decide, you can just go ahead and wait a long time. As you may have experienced, F-Class competitive gear doesn't arrive as swiftly as Amazon Prime deliveries!

Well, until now. I've found a stock maker collaborating with Alex Wheeler, quietly producing a proven competitive stock delivered by hand in under two weeks. And the best part? These stocks are made right here in the USA. They are perfectly inlet and come with customer service that's second to none. Trust me, I've reached out to the best (or at least left multiple messages)!

If you're new to F-Class shooting or looking to build an outstanding rifle, begin with Jason Avila's stock! His Wheeler F Open stock (WFO) is in the photographs. If you see me around, introduce yourself and give it a try. I guarantee you won't consider another manufacturer.

Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions or want to glean information/lessons learned.

Another thumbs up for Jason Avila, I recently ordered a stock from him and everything about the whole transaction, including the stock itself, was/is phenomenal.
 
Working out a rear bag spec right now. Wont take long since the bag has been worked out a long time ago for the LRB stock. Just need to get the right height and then you will be able to call and just ask Edgewood for the WFO bag like you can for the LRB. Which share the same butt stock for the most part.
 
I went ahead and designed a bag for this stock. Edgewood sells them. Its the same bag I designed for my LR BR stock but taller for the prone position. Tim had been shooting off one and gave it the ok.
Alex,
They dont show on their website. do you have too call them for it? Thanks
 
If you call Edgewood, tell them you want the "Wheeler F-Open rear bag". That'll have the spec'd ear spacing, material/layers that Wheeler vetted out with the Deep Creek gurus years ago, and now made it an easy button for the F-Open community with his Jason Avila WFO stock and this bag.

Ask any of the 1% F-Open shooters how important bag and rest setup is. You're leaving points/Xs & consistency on the table if your setup isn't right.

Thanks everyone. I feel like I won a Grammy. I’ve been working hard tying to provide high quality stocks. I’ve been lucky enough to catch the attention of some pretty good people that have helped me along the way.
Alex is correct. The WFO is selling for $900, inletting on popular actions is $150. If anyone has any questions feel free to message me here or give me a call.

Website is in the works!
