I have one on my .35 Whelen AI, and I have to concur with the posts about its being VERY user friendly in the handling and pointing qualities, and balance is also very good. I love mine. Couldn't have chosen a nicer stock for its uses in the hunting fields. Many stocks make their reputation in the match shooting area, and count on that carrying them over to the hunters' field, but Brown obviously knew a thing or two about what makes a stock handle, balance and point well in the hunting field, and they really excel at that.
