Well you've convinced me anyway. Where can I buy one? Pretty sure I was offered it in Manila. The Thrilla in Manila. Pay for the thumb and get the fingers for free?

Yall are a bunch of skanks lol.
Awhile back or rather over several years I decided I needed to recoup some money sitting in the safe so I sold all my Mcmillians to include an A5, couple of A3s an HTG and a Game scout or two as well as a few Manners MCSTs and bought a bunch of Boyds lightweight varmint TH for 120 each shipped. At the same time I dumped my SNB Pms and IORs and went all NXS.
Fitted them all to the rigs and bottom metal of which I kept- a 7 saum, a 308 and a 300 Rum and kept a spare short action and long stocks all for around the price of one Micky or Manners .. Left over short will be going on a 6.5 Hillbilly and long on a 7 Rum both in process.
BTW I haven't had to bed a single one of them as they stayed in the .3s after restocking. I have never had a poi change in several hundred rounds down each from moisture, temp changes or otherwise. I suspect there is just enough soft love in the laminate that the action beds itself to the stock with an over torque of slightly 25lbs for a day or so then back to standard torque then run em.

Ya'll have about flung a craving on me to try one. What do you thumbhole fans think of the Blazer Professional Success stock? I would have to sell several but I've been thinking of doing just that lately anyway.

If you have a blazer and the funds, you only live once buddy.
I might be worried about the thinness of the stock but connections but otherwise I like it.
I have a hard time moving away from the Boyds now that I have beat them to daggum death and the price is great.
I would like to run the MPI silhouette but they are pricey as well.
