Overview
Built for hunters setting up a short-action rifle on a Howa 1500, Weatherby Vanguard, Smith & Wesson 1500, or Mossberg 1500 platform, this sporter-style stock is aimed at a clean, practical field configuration. It features a cheekpiece and a textured black finish, with no checkering, keeping the design straightforward for a traditional hunting rifle setup. The full aluminum bedding block and free-floating arrangement are intended to support a stable fit, while the 1-inch Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad and 13.5-inch length of pull help round out the handling. At approximately 2.25 pounds, it offers a lightweight option for standard barrel contour rifles without adding unnecessary bulk.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for Howa 1500, Weatherby Vanguard, Smith & Wesson 1500, and Mossberg 1500 short-action rifles with standard barrel contour, so fit is specific rather than universal.
- Sporter style stock includes a cheekpiece but no checkering, which keeps the profile clean while offering less textured grip than checkered stocks.
- Uses a full aluminum bedding block with no pressure pad/free floating, so it is set up around that configuration rather than adjustable bedding options.
- 13.5-inch length of pull and approximately 2.25-pound weight are fixed specifications, so shooters should confirm those dimensions suit their setup before ordering.
