laminated wood stock???
« on: December 14, 2007, 02:32:57 AM »
I'd like to add a laminated wood stock and forearm to my heavy barrell NEF 17hrm sportster. Where do you find them?. I went to NEFs sight and didnt find them listed under the barrel accessory program. For those that have one, how much weight did it add to the gun and how much was the cost? Thanks

Please see the 2007 Retail Parts price list in the FAQs and Help sticky, they cost about $103 shipped, stock weights are also listed in the FAQs. The laminated stocks are my favorite, I have a few of the other stocks, but mostly lams. ;) While you're in the FAQs, check out the "Let's see some Handis" thread, 4 pages of H&R pics.

It adds a little weight to the rifle but makes it balance sooooo! much better ;D ;D I hated mine till I changed to the laminated stock made it a whole different gun

I second the balance comment.     I can't tell you how exactly how much weight it added, only that it is definitely heavier and much more balanced.   My groups improved, and the little .17HMR rounds don't even move this rifle anymore.  I shot two grey squirrels with it his weekend at around 100 yards.   Watched both hits through the scope.



I bought mine in the classifieds right here at GBO.   The stock set was taken off of an Ultra Varmint w/a HB, I believe.  Fits like a glove.
