Quality is excellent, however unless you live here in Canada, they are only available as blanks. Their stocks are extremely stiff and quite light. Unlike some other companies he uses carbonfiber in the forend as standard practise with no price mark up. He also offers most if not all his stocks in two different weights, ultralight or standard. It’s also important to know the inletting is cast in, not machined.
If you order a plain blank, you will need to sand and fill the mold seam lines, drill and tap the two marked aluminum blocks to accept sling studs, glue on your recoil pad, pillar bed, glass bed, and paint the stock. There also may be other minor work needed, but if you’re at all handy they aren’t hard to finish.
I believe he is also willing to fill and sand, install studs and he keeps decelerators without the steel inserts instock which he can install at additional cost.
If we are specifically talking about his Steyr model, it is a dimensional copy of the professionals stock.

BJ, thank you for pointing us to http://www.wildcatcomposites.com/steyr.html#features10-1wThese ring the bell for me. I can't find anything that says he does not ship fully inletted stocks to the USA. If that is the case, I have a friend in Edmonton. Can he buy the stock and ship it to me legally or is there some law about finished rifle stocks not being legal to ship the the USA from Canada?

It’s not a case of not being willing to send them, it’s a matter of the USA import restrictions. He sold many to the states until the USA made some sort of change where he no longer was allowed. Things may have changed by now, I’m not sure.
Stuart is a friendly guy, a phone call would clear it up.
I should also clarify, all his stocks are inletted, but need minor fitting and finishing. If you are Canadian, you can send him your rifle and he is willing to fit and finish the stock.

Anything firearm related going between US and Canada has to be declared and getting it through is a big hassle.
