I bought a stainless MKII 243 in '92 or '93. I intended to put a laminate stock on it. Son "High Brass" bought a late MKII stainless 308 with a brown Hawkeye laminate stock and wanted to trade stocks which I did. His best friend Ryan "RYE77" has his rifle now and wanted a laminate stock so we traded stocks. The laminate stock is better looking but those butt ugly boat paddles sure are solid and functional.
