You'd think Ruger would take notice and bring them back into production.

Good to know from that auction, I have a couple short action skeleton stocks sitting in a closet.

In that condition, that'll get added to a stainless MKII action and then the whole enchilada passed off as a "like new" original setup on GB, probably in something unusual like 223, and it will bring big "collector" money.

Those stocks pretty much suck. That narrow butt and non existant recoil pad makes them amplify recoil. Plus they just look like hell.

Love it.

I saw one like that on GunBroker recently, I also was rather surprised by the asking price. I've never had a Ruger " boat paddle'" but I have heard nothing good about them.

They are tough durable stocks for sure. It just takes two people who want it to make an auction. My guess it the next one won't come any where close to that price.

Maybe I should auction my 8# jug of Reloder 26?

I hated that stock. So much so that the rifle was sent down the road b/t the stock and mediocre accuracy.

Did I miss the fine print where it said the stock also includes the barreled action? I can't imagine paying over $150 for any used tupperware stock let along the ugliest tupperware stock ever made. I've shot a few boat paddle stocks and wouldn't go out of my way to get one. I like the normal tupperware stock that came with my allweather M77 mkII 350 rem mag.

I sold one for $25 years ago and still feel I got the better end of the deal.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
