I have been looking at the pictures of these Talon's with the nice stocks and this last one David posted looks to be very good.  I wonder how well fastened it is on the Talon? Before long the manufacturer will be building a model with a stock..:) Whata u bet?... :)

Well, since you haveto unscrew the Talon bottle to fill it, I would guess the stock is only attached by the grip screw and the fore end screw, the rear end of the stock is free floated and maybe just touches the bottle.  It's a nice design for sure though, one of the better full stocks I've seen on a Talon.  Airforce is making a 3 postion match rifle now.  It has a much smaller bottle and a "stock" of sorts, but I believe it's all metal and plastic, haven't seen one first hand.


At least that will make the comb lower:)

Speaking of pistol stocks, I just finished carving the very last two pistol stocks I will ever make.  Took a couple pictures.  These will be finished with a bit of hand sanding and then painted tactical black with a bedliner type paint to give them a good grippy surface.  You aren't seeing double, one is for a left handed shooter and one for a right handed shooter.  Very challenging to cut a grip for a lefty when you shoot right handed.....they feel wrong no matter what you do:)
