My V V Kevlar stock came in after a 4 month wait. I must say it was worth the cost which was equivalant to the price of a complete encore with both barrels.
We have to hunt with slug guns where I live so I got a Kevlar butt stock with 2 forends; one in 12 gauge and one in 209x50. Got tired of the wood cracking (twice) so I went with Kevlar.
Fit and finish are exceptional. Stainless steel grip cap with V V C G stamp was a real nice touch. Raised cheek piece and hand grip are outstanding.
Weight with 24" barrel in 12 gauge is now UNDER 6 pounds. In 26" 209x50 it's 7.4 pounds. Decelerator butt pad is great but recoil is still punishing in 12 gauge. Not so bad in .50 cal with 2- 50 grain Triple 777 pellets and a 240 grain slug.
Well worth the wait and the cash.
