GRS stocks nice, but a bit too pricey
Posted by eod on July 6, 2015 at 3:28 amI know choices are limited, but without some field records, the GRS stock is a bit pricey.
To me at least.
Any potential updates on prices?eod replied 8 years, 9 months ago 5 Members · 8 Replies -

Very pricy, the Sporter is all that without the pricetag

Sounds like you have the sporter. Any reviews?
Did you bed the rifle or just mount it on?
Install pillars? -

Hi if you look at the quality of the stocks and the workmanship that's gone into them there worth the money , thats in my opinion anyway

Any in depth reviews would be great. I guess i'm just hesitant to be the first one to have it.
As with most firearms, you're paying for the quality. -

Hi I've seen them up close , they are a work of art .the hand grip fells just right and neutral and all the hardware is well finish off , when I get around to my next build i will be using there sporter/varmint, A friend of mine has one on his Blaser R8 rifle it needs slightly modifying as its go a left and right hand bolt , do a search on U-tube there on there with several videos also there's plenty on there web site, if you decide to look somewhere else have a look at mountain tactical

I really like the GRS stocks and have four. The first one I bought about 5 years ago and is on a 204 foxing rifle it is the adjustable hunting stock. The next is a .223 in a GRS sporter stock, then there's a .260 in a long range and lastly a 308 in a Hybrid. Three of these rifle are Tikkas and one Howa the Tikkas fitted straight away onto the steel lug that comes in the stock. I did a bedding job on one but it shoots no better than the others. The lug is very tuff and none of them have a single make on them after hundreds of rounds. The Howa also fitted well, out the box.
The Hybrid has been developed from the long range but they have removed the mono pod on the rear and made it flatter to run a rear bag. The mono pod on the long range is nice however it can drop if pressure is put on it.
All the stocks have the same grip that is off set and lines your trigger finger up perfectly also they are thumb up, that feels very comfortable. The stocks comes fitted with a flush cup and sling stud on the newer ones, the older ones only had studs. I like the side mounted rear cup or stud it make the rifle lay flat on your back when carrying it.
The butt pad and cheek rest are adjusted by just pushing a large button in and pulling or pushing to where you want them. The butt pad can also be moved up and down the same way.
Being 6'6″ I find a lot of stocks to small but these fit me fine they also fit my vertical challenged friend.
Three of them have been fitted with aics type bottom metals without a problem.
The only bad thing I can think about them is they are a tad heavy, otherwise they would be perfect. -

I have one, and another on the way.
I'm very impressed with them.

The big button is the “release” on the adjustment.
From the pictures it looked like a “screw” type adjustment. This is good to know.
I hear that laminate stocks still do compress over time, so pillars should be installed?
Did those who own the laminate stock get pillars installed?
