H-S Precision stocks?

[GeorgeShaw]

Thinking of replacing the zytel stock on my Ruger All Weather. I don't want some flimsy, cheap stock. Has anyone have hands on experience with an H-S? I hate the thought of spending $500+ and not liking it. Thanks

I’m surprised to hear about someone getting rid of a zytel stock… they are pretty sought after (even though they are ugly, heavy & uncomfortable . )

The HS line of stocks are not particularly strong or rigid, they haven’t really kept up with technology. I believe they are still using a self-skinning urethane foam with an aluminum bedding block. Better stocks are using either a hand laid carbon fiber or fiberglass shell with a foam filling. This is way better structurally and lighter weight.

On the premium side, I would look at McMillan. For a little better pricing, Stocky’s is making some pretty good stocks.

I like the Zytel stock, but it's not easily adapt to using a bipod. I'll keep it along with the factory barrel which I also replaced. I'll check out the stocks mentioned.
