I love the looks of the Legend buddy. As I wrote my previous post, that is exactly what I was thinking. I only drag my size 12's because IF I order one, it's going to have a left hand cheek piece. Then if I hate it, I'm stuck with it because no one is going to buy it. The conundrum I put on myself, but If I order one, it's going to suit me personally. Generally I do not like stocks with cheek pieces, because they are on the wrong side for me. So in essence they just add unnecessary weight. Stocks like the hunters compact/hunters edge fit me great, but would not be a suitable match for my long tubed 300wby. I also don't care for the weight of the Pre 64 montecarlo pattern. They weigh more than the damn wood stock they are replacing. Hence, the reason I keep the old factory stock on it. Ha ha. There's always the Brown PoundR approach, as I know I love the ergo's of that stock. My 338wm works great and I love the weight of that rifle. But who wants to pay what they want for a Brown PoundR these days? The Legend is sweet though, I've admired them from afar. That 300WBY would be bad azzed with that stock. I'd just hope the ergo's fit me well.


Don’t write off the Hunters EDGE or Compact. I can never remember the right name for it.

I built my Mashburn with a Legend and it was nice but heavier than what I wanted so I swapped to a Compact EDGE


Here it is as a Legend

The hunters compact is my favorite, but I think with the short forend and long barrel, it would look funny. Where it really shines is with a shorter barrel like what is on the fwt:

This 270fwt was one of the nicest ones I've seen. The guy that bought it from me is pretty dang happy with it. I let it go because I'm not a 270 guy. The only reason I'd buy one now is for resale value. You rarely see them though.

Thanks for the pics. What is the barrel length on your mashburn? You have a damn nice collection there buddy.
