What you folks doing for mounts/rings?
700 compatability? Seems like its diminutiveness might make a rail a good idea over 2 piece mounts?

I can't stand those Hogue stocks. Nor I. I wont feel bad if I ruin it with files and a grinder.

There are not the rubbery Hogue stocks although they have the same shape. I agree that they are homely, but I like them.
Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.

Has anyone tried cutting/lightening one of these stocks before? I seem to remember seeing some photos of one that had been carved up... Can't remember if it was here or elsewhere. I think I'll be getting one, and trying to work the stock a little. Probably try to shorten the fore end and move the sling stud back. Maybe chop the barrel back too.

I like the Hogue stocks myself...
I tried those scope bases that MadMooner posted a link to...
I have them mounted on a Mini in 223...
I have a 30mm diameter tube on top... I think it makes the scope set too high above the bore... minus that, they are a nice set up...
if I put like a 2 x 7 scope on it, with a 1 inch tube, it would probably set a lot lower...
I think the Grendal would be like a 6,5 version of a 30/30....which wouldn't be bad with 65 to 120 grain bullets.. heavier bullets, I think would yield diminishing returns..

I'll post some pics this evening. Can't offer as a service.... Done 7, or 8.

There's zero doubt they are all Hogues. Though I have been a proponent for slimming them, I have a rubbery 10/22 that doesn't seem to bother me, and it's pink. Maybe because it's pink. FIIK

#2 for Hank. #1 and 2are rattlecanned. The rest are Duracoated. Pre-shaping weight marked, 34.5oz, 30.3oz final. A bit more work around the grip than Flav's. Not this. I took a bunch of pics of Hank's stock before I started but can't find them. It wasn't all hacked up in the barrel channel like that other guy's! LOL
