I have just finished getting one ready at the moment. Seirra classic for a win 70 short action with blind mag. Im very happy with it - its quite blond so a bit of wood dye was needed to get some colour into it. It was also quite soft which made it very easy to shape and I was was a bit worried about it but once I had put a couple of coats of a mixture of spar varnish and danish oil and then a couple more of polyurathane its turned out as tough as any thing else I have. It is light - with the butt and forearm hollowed out a wee bit and shaped down to a compact rifle demensions its a tad under 1 1/2 pounds with a decelerator installed. Certainly a cheaper option than going the fibreglass/kevlar route and its actually turned out pretty nice. I can recommend the stock based on my experience.
