The important question here is about the lump in the bedding block, not the cerakote pattern

Hows do the high rings pair with the stock?
Would you mind adding a pic of the bedding issue/barrel channel?No dildo patterns.
First impressions:
-ergos feel good, as expected.
-grip panels texture is great
-fit/finish isn’t great. There’s a little bump in the bottom of the bedding area and the barrel isn’t centered in the channel perfectly. Barrel clearance isn’t an issue since I got the biggest channel. I’ll need to think a bit more about the bedding portion.
Rifle currently has the UM high rings I believe, they are a little higher than ideal right now but might be pretty close to where I want them if I add the leather.

LolIs it just me or does the tear pattern look way different than the example photo? The tears don't look "torn"
Great contribution!
I rarely get on my belly, so I typically prefer the same “high” height. I see you also mount your scope further to the rear like myself, thus putting the face higher on the comb. I’m hoping the highs rings I have work since they help clear the windage knob from spent brass with the scope mounted further back.Edited that in above. Prone with my face further forward, cheek bone is off the rifle a bit but I could make it work. I think I'll add a leather pad and see how that fits. I tend to like my scopes mounted a little higher and dont smash my face down on the comb.
I suspect they haven’t arrived yet.Has anyone received a LE green stock yet or have a time frame? I ordered a bare LE green w/ combo rail within minutes of launch, but I haven’t seen anything yet.
Not with a fingernail. I'm sure a file would make quick work of it.Can you scape it off? It almost looks like cerakote crap or some post inlet junk.

Anyone have one yet mounted with sportsmatch rings?
Seems like fitment is never absolutely perfect and sometimes might need a little sanding, which I believe stockys states in all of their stock descriptions. Annoying? Sure, but sand it down and carry on.
Tear pattern look versus rendering - bound to come put different, still looks fine to me. We'll see if I feel the same when I get mine this week.
Sportsmatch rings and SWFA 3-9 are gtg for meAnyone have one yet mounted with sportsmatch rings?

I'll be rocking sportsmatch and lrts. Hoping that will work. I don't need to be spending more money.....Sportsmatch rings and SWFA 3-9 are gtg for me
Would you mind (maybe in a separate post to avoid further clutter here) expanding on this?
I have a .243 AI Tikka rechambered by Kampfeld that went from mild pressure, 3130 fps at 52.5 gr H1000 brand new, to heavier pressure signs at same velocity with 4 grains less powder after 150 rounds. I've got a load well under pressure now that I went ahead and loaded 150 of and so far so good. I'll take a little slow and no cleaning over 50-100 fps higher and cleaning required if it works to do it this way, but wanted to get your take.
So the dildo pattern is an option?No dildo patterns.

[Edit to add: The bedding aspect seems easily remediated. this is a first go for me with something besides fully bedding, factory plastic/bedding, or chassis]

Mine should get here this week and I have scopes in both Sportsmatch to84 and ht073 (next height up) rings. I will share my findingsAnyone have one yet mounted with sportsmatch rings?
