Not how you were raised but a rifle stock. LOL!!
I'm looking at a Manners stock for my Howa. My action has a carbon fiber barrel and at the front of my stock the barrel measures 1.030. The Manners is used so the price is decent but the barrel channel measure .990 at the front. This means I will need to open it up at least .050 or even a bit more to get my barrel to fit the channel and maybe more to float. I keep thinking it isn't that much but I don't want to screw up a good stock or compromise the integrity of the fore-end either. What do you think?
