Anyone know of a synthetic or fiberglass thumb hole stock for a Encore?

Check with Advanced Technologies or Bell and Carlson. AT makes a Dragunov style buttstock for the Contender, they may have one for the Encore as well. B&C has something similar, but in a variety of colors (black with grey web, grey with black web, mossy oak, etc.). I think B&C stock sets start at $160 and go up from there. The AT stock might be around $75.

In Cabella's 2005 Shooting Catalog they show a new ThumbHole stock for the Encore ( XS-22-7298 ). It comes in Walnut, Composite Black, and Realtree Hardwood Grey HD. @ 159.99

Thanks for the reply Tdot: I checked Cabelas web site and XS-22-7298 is only listed in walnut, I'll have to call and confirm. I would think someone
out there makes a composite or synthetic thumbhole stock.

I checked with Bell & Carlson. They don't sell synthetic stocks for the TC Encore

Thanks for checking Sandy. I got to busy to call, so I emailed them when I got home from work. I guess I probably won't hear from them. I really
hope to find something, I just got spoiled with thumbhole stocks after having 3 of them on crossbows

If you don't absolutely need synthetic, try www.gunstocksinc.com . They make stocks for Contender, G2, and Encore, including thumbhole stocks (regular and "Stinger") in walnut, sycamore, and laminates. Prices are very good, but you have to do final finishing (sand and apply finish of Tru-oil or other wood finish).

Yes I know of a couple good manufactures for wood stocks. I have been
favoring plastic and fiberglass because of the weight reduction and I don't
have to worry about the weather while I am out hunting. Also I have a problem with staying upright sometimes. I have already scratched scopes
when I fall.
