Basic Gameking Hogue stock vs Weatherby Vanguard.

[USMCM16A2]

Folks,



Does anyone have any experience with the difference between the basic Hogue stock on a Howa vs the Weatherby Vanguard stock polymer. Is the Weatherbys forend any stiffer. The Hogues forend in the pillar bedded stock is like warm chewing gum. Thanks, A2

I have both and the both Suck! But they work and I have never had an issue with either.

If you have a Vanguard and are considering a new stock, check to see if it's free-floated. All the ones I've looked at are not, and supposedly are "engineered" to have a certain amount of pressure on the barrel to get their moa guarantee. They come with a fairly thin barrel (the garden variety Vanguards I mean) and you might actually make it less accurate even if you put a high quality stock on it that's free floated.

The pressure pad on a stock is,an easy fix. My weatherbys are all free floated by removing that pressure point bump. And it made a world of difference. Just measure height make a note of it and remove.
