The new GRS Berserk
-
Yeah! Friday I'll be shooting a bunch of photos for the site and I'll post a link here.
I put my 223AI super light in it. Surprisingly it doesn't look out of place. Of course, the picture week be worth 1000 words
Thanks man, If all look good I'll be one of the first buyers..
-
I will be right behind Dog Down in purchasing one! (I decided to hold off on a 2nd suppressor in favor of this!) I'm now glad I didn't mess with my Sporter stock lol. I will be looking forward to the pictures also!!

We can post to England. Shipping would be $15 flat rate and the Bolthorn is $1199 with the folder.
If it was easier to import a rifle into England I'd have you guys build the rifle for me , but getting it ' proofed for a individual is not easy and I think quite expensive
-
I'm curious Larkin, what is the mark up for U.S.A. made products for you? For example the new 21 Century stainless Priming tool is $118 or so plus a few $ for shipping (its a spectacular tool btw). sorry for the thread hijacking…

Hi once you've added import tax , and vat it normally works out at $1 = £1 if you can get it labelled as R & D or warranty replacement or gift there's nothing to pay this end but the people who have posted it can get in big trouble your end(prison)
-
so, conceivably, i could “gift” you a priming tool with no tax?

It definitely isn't an easy process. I've looked into for our northern neighbors because gun smithing is so expensive in Canada.
I can't imagine what it would be like shipping a rifle to the UK!

Hi I was talking to Osca today and was looking at these new stocks the , quality is excellent and will be great on a Tikka , as for my new stock I was also talking to Louise and Dave from Accuracy International and will be using them , but Grs are Excellent stocks and if you get the new Berserk you won't be disappointed

I am compelled to offer a little different perspective – in hopes that manufacturers ( GRS in particular ;D…) will read this.
The composite stocks of the current generation of manufacturing technologies are ALL CAD designed. Because they are, WHY oh WHY….can't someone have the foresight to understand that it is a simple process to “flip” the design – and offer a LEFT HAND MODEL???? And – perhaps even easier – and certainly at a lower cost…to design the stock so that it is a “universal” design – requiring only a little milling out of the interior – as ordered???
This has ben the way wood stocks have been made – since…ever. 😉 And – for a fraction of the cost….I love the Berserk design. But, the lack of long – range thinking on the part of GRS ( sorry…just calls 'em like I see's 'em!) Has forced me to buy a Manners – at TWICE the price of the Berserk .
BTW – current data available from the NRA states that at least 20% of the buying/shooting population is LEFT HANDED.
Yet, less than 1 in 20 firearms are made for LEFT HANDERS…. Looks like a lot of manufacturers leave much money on the table. -
You are correct that there is a huge percentage of left handed shooters.
It comes down to money. Flipping a CAD design is easy.
Paying for a $250,000 mold is hard.
If it was a machined item like their laminates, it would be a piece of cake… which is why they make them in left handed.
-
I think I kind of understand…But – by “kind of” – I mean that – in every other industry that has a left/right based audience – manufacturers find ways to create 1 design quite often. Then – rather than injection mold the details ( inlet in this case ) they either have 2 different inserts – one for left, and one for right that is put in place prior to injection of the hot polymeric blend that cools and hardens as a stock in this case – OR they make the product in a fashion which allows them to – with minor milling to make the end product either left or right.
I hope that GRS – and others – can do this as well. It is a cost conscious attempt to satisfy the entire market, and not force potential clients to go elsewhere for their needs. I like the laminates from GRS – but, I also know that my taking pretty furniture in the woods would be distracting for me. At a range – yeah…but – it would tick me off to beat up a beautiful stock hunting with it…. -
Hi if you look at the design of the stock , like the 10 degree slanted hand grip etc it's not just a quick case of a little insert change to make it left or right, for a small company like Grs it's pure economics
-
That is worth noting Larkin, and something I did in fact overlook…. :-[…. ;D
O.K. – lets add ambidextrous grip to the “Lefties wish list” 😉 😀
-
There bringing a left hand grip out for the Bolthorn , and again if you look at the stock around the but you will I hope see it cannot be left and right , if you take these thinks way it would be just a normal plane boring stock
