Accurate Innovations Stocks

[SJB358]

Have any of you all ever used one of these? Just wondering. Seems like a great build to have an aluminum block in the wood to button everything up tight and resist warping. Scotty

They are pretty nice looking. It'd be good to hear from someone that has used these stocks, however.

 

[SJB358]

Yeah, I was looking at them for my Ruger in the future. Think it would make a nice platform for whatever it becomes. Scotty

Are you not selling the 300 Winnie Scott?

 

[SJB358]

It is still for sale, but not having many hits on it Fotis. Just weighing some options. If I can get rid of it shortly, it would alleviate me thinking of other things to do with it. Scotty

A 6.5x300 winnie with a 26" tube? :mrgreen:

or a 257 Win Mag?

Scott, there was a serious sell of them a few years back. I never bought one, but kind of wish I did. Maybe you just need to bit the bullet and give the rest of us a report!! :grin:

I think I am covered with the 264WM right now. I was thinking something bigger! Not sure though. Might just keep trying to sell it and invest in something else? Not sure yet.

AS- they do look pretty nice. They are pricey, but I think you get what you pay for with wood! Scotty

Scotty, their stocks have a good reputation for quality. Plus, I have found that even a fancy wood stock that has aluminum or even straight grain walnut in the forend is pretty stable against warpage. I have had my two custom stocks for 35 years or so and they do not change zero from year to year. I keep them in a heated safe. I just picked wood where all the grain is in the buttstock and not in the forend. This minimizes warpage.

Cheap, improperly cured and oven dried stocks warp, well cured ones, especially with an aluminum block in them don't warp much usually. Just an observation.

I have a new project that may get one of these. Over at 24HCF there is a new mix on McSwirleys called a McWoody that may be destined for the new iron. Haven't decided yet.

Thanks for the G2 Charlie. I like wood more and more as I get along. Seems like the AI stock is a good way to have the best of both worlds. Scotty

Scotty,

I have an Accurate Innovations stock on my 375 RUM. Remember :mrgreen:

I had this stock for 4 years now and I'm very happy with it. My groups improved by half compared to the original factory Winchester plastic contraption they called a stock...

Maurice, I forgot about that rifle! Very nice, thank you for reminding me. Scotty
