Overview
Built for long-action rifles in the Howa 1500, Weatherby Vanguard, Smith & Wesson 1500, and Mossberg 1500 pattern, this sporter-style stock is aimed at hunters who want a straightforward replacement stock for standard barrel contour setups. It includes a cheekpiece and a full aluminum bedding block that runs from the grip to the front swivel stud, with no pressure pad and a free-floating arrangement. The 13.5-inch length of pull and 1-inch Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad give it a practical fit for field use, while the olive and black finish keeps the look subdued. At approximately 2.25 pounds, it offers a light carry without adding unnecessary bulk.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for Howa 1500, Weatherby Vanguard, Smith & Wesson 1500, and Mossberg 1500 long-action rifles with standard barrel contour, so fit is specific rather than universal.
- The sporter-style stock has a cheekpiece but no checkering, which may be less secure for some shooters depending on conditions and grip preference.
- The 13.5-inch length of pull is fixed as listed, so shooters needing a different fit may need to look elsewhere.
- The bedding setup is described as full aluminum bedding block with no pressure pad/free floating, which is a defined configuration and may not suit every rifle setup or preference.
