Anyone interested in thumbhole stocks for the NEF should take a look at this. Looks pretty nice to me.

Boy that is a sweet looking stock. I've seen others that I didn't like nearly as well. Now how about a matching flat bottomed forestock with a bipod lug.

With a .223 bull barrel, slicked up trigger, a good variable scope with say 12x to 16x at the upper end and a Harris bipod you'ld have a one dandy varmint rig for chucks to yotes.

What's the price tag on that puppy and are forestocks available?

we've asked him to post the price. So you'll know when we do I suppose.

I wonder if he used a jig to drill the mounting bolt hole in that stock or he just eye balled it and ran it in using a cordless drill..... :roll:

He may be a Deadeye with a drill:)

handirifle,
It's a gorgeous piece of wood and craftsmanship. I haven't found a thumbhole stock yet, that fits me. I think they need a bit of personalization to fit right.
