The EH3 is nice. If I could have my way I'd have a straight comb with no drop at heel (like the EH1). Or the EH1 slimmed down to the size of the EH3 would be nice.

Thanks for the pics. I like the looks of that EH3. Is that one of their standard colors? If so which one? What's the length of that barrel?

As a side note, this stock will be for sale soon. It has the mini chassis and was a temporary fix inbetween rifles. I'll have a GAP shortly on the same EH3 stock but without the chassis and bedded by GAP. It is now inletted (after above pic) for a #3 Brux. The inletting was done by Manners on CNC, i.e. perfect!

The EH3 looks similar to the McMillan HTG stock but with less drop at the heel. Is that true?
What does the pictured stocks weigh?

You might could stretch it and say the EH3 is a slimmed up HTG with a higher comb and less drop at heel.
The EH1 is of the same proportions as the HTG, though a totally different grip and butt. The channel will take all you can give it.
The EH3 weighs 32oz on the nose with the mini chassis. Less the 7 oz long action chassis it would be 25oz.
The EH1 is not the "Elite Hunter" fill. It is standard fill with the molded in color. As such, it is 39 oz. With EH fill is around 28 oz.

The EH3 is my dream stock. I like to ride the tang so to speak but have a hard time finding a stock with that and all the other attributes I like. Can it be inletted for a Sako.75 Magnum... Please Please....

What are the dimensions between the lines through the grip area and bore line to floor plate? That info would be helpful in comparing to current stocks I have what dimensions feel better. Good looking stocks.

The long horizontals are 2" apart and the trigger/grip verticals are 1.5". The forend reference is 17.75" from the trigger vertical. That is the Utah standard.

fellas, what's the difference between the EH2 and EH3? A little more closed grip on the EH2? How about the forends?

X-VERMINATOR Comb looks a bit higher to me on the EH2... but I don't know if it is or not. The EH2 looks to be wider in the forend also. Here's the EH2 with the Rock #4. Barrel at calipers is .80", forend is 1.6ish" wide.

EH3 is a much slimmer stock, especially the grip
