Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats holland stocks

hey guys its been quite a few years since I have posted on here.i do keep up with posts from time to time and enjoy it.have a few custom hunting rigs built by some good smiths and love having and shooting them.im just a accuracy nut and even though not needed for normal hunting situations I love having rifles that put tiny groups on paper.anyway to the point.has anyone built a rifle on a Holland sporter stock and if so there opinions on it.the feel and impression as compared to others such as mcmillans and manners or hs precision.i have a McMillan sporter I like and 3 high tech I really like.just thinking a Holland on a varmint build as it looks to have a great comb for cheek weld and height for a large obj scope thanks.

Welcome back...
I have not seen a holland stock in person....mostly a McMillan crowd around here...

I have a 7rum built on a holland thumb hole it is a very comfortable fit and a joy to shoot. I also have a holland sporter chambered in 223 AI I would compare it to a sako 75 for fit which I also think fits very well. I think McMillan makes his stocks. Nathan at ssg built both these guns and they both shoot under 1/2". My opinion you can't go wrong with holland stocks. They come long so your not stuck with 13 1/2 " lop. Very good fit and feel on the sporter.

thanks guys.i like the high comb for cheek weld and a scope with a large obj.im curious now if McMillan builds them as I believe Darrell has them in stock.

Yes. His synthetic stocks are made by McMillan. I really like them. I've had 2 with the high comb and palm swell grip. They are very nice. They shoot as good as the builder and bedding job as they are McMillan stocks.

ebby thanks what calibers are they in.im asking because I'm wondering if either were of a medium or larger magnum caliber and how the felt recoil was.i would say I have medium size hands and how well they might fit me.i gather you liked the palm swell and 3/8th cast off.

30-06 and .280 AI so no big boomers

Recoil was very manageable. I love the palm swell and cast. Very good fitting stocks. My hands are fairly big though. I wear L/XL in all gloves. I think you will be pleased though.
