Overview
Built for short-action rifles in the Howa 1500 and Weatherby Vanguard family, this sporter-style stock offers a straightforward upgrade for hunters who want a clean, traditional profile with a cheekpiece and no checkering. It is designed to fit standard barrel contour rifles and includes a full aluminum bedding block that runs from the grip to the front swivel stud, along with a no pressure pad/free-floated setup. A 1-inch Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad and 13.5-inch length of pull round out the package for field use where fit and comfort matter. At approximately 2.25 pounds, it keeps the focus on a practical, hunting-oriented stock rather than extra bulk.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Fits only Howa 1500, Weatherby Vanguard, Smith & Wesson 1500, and Mossberg 1500 short-action rifles with standard barrel contour, so compatibility should be confirmed before ordering.
- The sporter stock has a cheekpiece but no checkering, which may be a consideration for shooters who prefer added grip texture.
- The 13.5-inch length of pull is fixed in the listed configuration, so it may not suit every shooter without adjustment elsewhere.
- The design uses a full aluminum bedding block and no pressure pad/free floating setup, which is a specific fit and bedding approach rather than a universal drop-in solution for every rifle setup.
