Laminated Thumbhole 243 is Here!

Picked it up this am, stock work is nicely done cept for the usual proud fit at the frame, As has been mentioned, the stock is attached with button hexhead bolt in the t-hole. The barrel finish is nicer than most finishes too, not as nice as older Ultras, but much better than current production Handis. I'm gonna shoot it to see how accurate the barrel is, if it's a shooter, it's gonna become a 6mm Improved.

Looks good Tim. Good to hear it finally come through as well.
I might have said this before, but the buttstock looks identical to the Boyds stock on the XR-100...
http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/centerfire_rifles/xR-100_rangemaster_specs.asp
http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/BrowseEbus/Varmintall.asp
Either way, I believe you will like it. It took a little getting use to with my Remington, but I am really liking it now.
If you get time, could you take a pic of the inside of the thumb hole where the bolt attaches?
Thanks

Hello
Very nice Tim, have you shot it yet? I would not mind having one, but it is made for people that shoot from the wrong side.
I feel left out.
Have a great day
