Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Lone Wolf stocks?

Anyone have any experience with Lone Wolf stocks? I'm looking at their Summit model for a short action Mod 70. They list it as weighing only a pound.

I have experience with McMillan, High Tech, and Brown Precision. Anyone know how Lone Wolf compares?

Enjoy!!

Thanks for the thread reference. Didn't show up when I did a search.

Unfortunately lots of heat and not much light on the subject.

The jist I get out of it is: Some who've owned Lone Wolf like them fine. Others find them a bit flexible in the forearm. Some find the ergonomics just don't work for them.

General preference on the forum is McMillan over Lone Wolf, with particularly strong McMillan preference among those who've never owned a Lone Wolf.

That about right?

I currently have a Lone Wolf, a standard McMillan, and two Bansners. Like I said on that other thread, the LW is soft in the fore end, but careful bedding with a minimal shank barrel can solve that. The Bansner takes a lot of work to finish but it is an excellent stock, very durable and plenty stiff in the fore end. It's weight is similar to the Lone Wolf.

I have had a Lone Wolf, standard McMillan, and Bansers. The McMillan and Bansers are pretty close in quality. That is to say, they are pretty good. Extremely stiff and solid.

The Lone Wolf I had was lighter in weight but it had a lot of flex in the forend. I also did not care for the quality of paint they used. The Lone Wolf pad they used was also cheap and did little to help recoil. I had them add a Pachmyer, which was the same thickness, but much better at reducing recoil. The Pachmyer did add a couple of extra ounces but was well worth it.

I have 3 McMillans and 2 Lonewolfs. I can not find fault with any of them. I do believe Lonewolf was more responsive regarding service and they did build a stock for a left hand mauser action that McMillan would not even touch.
