Rimrock/Pacific Research stocks are pretty much a thing of the past - sadly. I'd love to have a few more for the M700 L/A & S/A BDL, Win M70 L/A & S/A (FN/SC versions), Sako L61R, and the Interarms Mark X. However, I'd find it REAL hard to pay this sellers asking price of $4500 !  http://www.armslist.com/posts/50298...fic-research-stock-fnh-spr--win-model-70At $4500 a crack, one might be able to coax a reintroduction of these fine stocks. 
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Jim HAD the rights, but sold them several moons ago. When Jim had the rights, if you held your tongue right, smiled and flashed cash, you might get a stock out of him that wasn't attached to one of his rifles.

Scroll down. It says $450. I know. Just thought the $4500 at the top was a bit over the top.

Before I scrolled down, I was willing to offer an As New LH LA Rimrock for half of that. Bummer when I saw the $450...

One new Rimrock, or supposed sighting of one, don't mean SQUAT.

WiFowler: It wasn't a "supposed" sighting....it was a "real" sighting on a new custom rifle built by the people who bought the stock business from Borden.I stared at it for a solid week on a hunt this year.... Recently built. I'm not being coy here; just not sure how much Im allowed to say....but a custom rifle builder does own the stock. I will leave it up to them to publicize it as they want.How available they are is another question. I should mention that I think you know the owner LOL!

Are they better than a Bansner? Based on my small sample of one each, yes, though both are very good. I have the PR on a pre-war Standard Grade and the Bansner is on a pre-64 FW-a 1954.

Are they better than a Bansner? I have 2 Rimrock stocks on M70's & 3 on M700's as well as a M600 in a Banister/hiteck stock. The Rimrocks are great much better than Hitek. The 2nd stock is a Rimrock, the 3rd a Brown Precision and the Bottom McMillian: ![[Linked Image]](http://i493.photobucket.com/albums/rr299/tomgahunter/P8260031_zps6acda4f7.jpg)

Below is one of the first iterations (of the old Rimrock/Borden) from Nathan Chesney. I have a handful of High Tech stocks and like them a lot but I'll pick Nathan's stock each and every time. He's quite meticulous so he's finessed the molds a bit but only a true Rimrock aficionado like WIfowler would notice the subtleties. As of now, his versions are only available on his custom rifles or he'll restock an existing rifle - but expect to pay a healthy (but very worthwhile) sum for it. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z345/joan4321/Kansas%202015/IMG_4815_creed_zps27wwxbtw.jpg)

And yes I know the owner of the 'one-off stock' and am aware of the owner of the business.

LOL on the typo add, but, about the stocks themselves, I think they were/are the best syn stocks ever made, they fit and feel perfect for me.
Trump Won!
