An accurate platform for shooting offhand or off the bench. Thumbhole stocks provide a long consistent surface for an equally consistent sight picture - one of the fundamentals of good marskmanship. This is true for shooting from a rest or out on a stalk. Wood laminate is solid as a rock and much better looking - you won't have to worry about warping flex or any other accuracy reducing movement from this beautiful stock. Other well thought-out additions to this model include: two sling swivel studs on the forearm (one for a sling another for a bipod) a vented forearm to aid in barrel cooling and of course a threaded muzzle with a thread protector cap. - RECEIVER
