Just wondering if they may be rare. I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME; PHIL. 4:13 HUNT LIKE THERE AINT NO 2MMORROW

Free floated it and it shot like crap...put the pressure hump back and it shot great. Recoil pad added helps a bunch. "I'm not near as critical about how big they are as I once was.

I cut the original stock down last year and now have it dialed in w managed recoil for my daughter. Never had a problem with it and will always keep it around.
