The boat paddle doesn't work for me.
Me either. But the factory synthetic on the new Hawkeye is very good. I can't think of anyone who makes an aftermarket stock I'd rather have. A McMillan would be a TINY bit better, but certainly not worth the expense. If they made their Edge stock for the Ruger then I'd say yes to it,but they don't make it. The standard fill McMillan will likely be heavier than a factory Hawkeye synthetic and not shoot any better.
The good news is that those boat paddle stocks have reached cult like status among a handful of sadists who like them. I'm sure you can sell it for more than it will cost you to buy a replacement.
