Whidden Composite Works $549.00 F-TR and Tactical Stock
You may not know it, but Whidden Composites, run by two-time National Long-Range Champion John Whidden, produces a nice series of hunting, F-TR, match, tactical, and general purpose gunstocks. These high-grade stocks all feature advanced composite construction, Whidden Gunwork’s signature V-blocks, three installed sling swivels, and a Pachmayr® Decelerator pad. Epoxy construction ensures that these stocks are stiff AND light. John explains: “All of our stocks are crafted with epoxy from core to finish. The core is an expanded epoxy blended to a density that perfectly balances weight, strength, and rigidity. The outer shell is an epoxy coating that is incredibly durable — but light enough to carry all day. The textured epoxy external coating forms a handsome, tactile finish that is great to hold.”
Built-in V-Block Standard, with Many Options Available
The latest stock design from Whidden Composite Works is the model 175 Tactical/F-TR stock. This unit offers a long, rigid fore-end, with a straight comb and straight buttstock toe. This makes it very well-suited for prone shooting with a rear sand-bag and front bipod. The design is ambidextrous so it can be used by either right- or left-handed shooters (with appropriate inlet). Five color choices are offered: black, silver, reddish brown, tan, and green. Base price, inletted for Rem 700 long- or short-action, is a reasonable $549.00 — remember that includes deluxe buttpad and the versatile V-block which allows one stock to be used with multiple barreled actions.
For the model 175, Whidden offers a number of options: $100 Fore-end Rail, $125 Adjustable Cheek piece, $135 Rear Monopod, and $75 Picatinny Bipod Rail. The sling attachments can also be flush-mounted for $10.00 per slot. For just $30.00 over the base price, Southpaws can order a left-hand version of the model 175 stock. Whidden Composites can also inlet for detachable bottom metal and for non-Rem actions (Tikka, Winchester, Sako, etc.), but it does cost more for these non-standard inlets.

Everything John Whidden makes is a proven product. But the rear mono pod I beleive would not be legal in F-Clcass shooting. One whould need to read the FT-R Rules.

Why all these companies manufacturing these style of stocks (copies of original Mcmillan A series by the way) are making them ambidextrous?
When the vast majority of the public market is NOT “team of snipers” with one left handed and right handed but single individuals either hunting or punching paper?
They would be so much more comfortable if they had a proper palm swell either right handed or left handed depending of customer’s preferences…
And they would make such a difference in that market!
Good catch there Nat on the Mono Pod, yup they’ve been a no-no since before the NRA wrote F-Class in the Rules. It’s one of those things people see and think “Oh it’s got to be legal” they call it “F-Class” which just makes it harder on Tech inspecters and the Competitor who now has to shot without it.
