We had a glitch in our site regarding the introductory pricing. It cut off too early.

We are honoring the pricing through the 4th of July weekend.

Thank you to those who have and continue to serve our country!

We will provide any current or former M/LE personnel with special pricing on any product we sell.

We have been very excited to see the response of this new product line here in the states. As with any introduction of a new product in an new market, it was a calculated risk. The price point of this stock line is much higher than the other stock lines we carry. This alone was enough for us to perform our own due diligence of the quality of these stocks.

I do appreciate everyone’s comments on these stocks. They are definitely different than the “plywood” stocks of old. Modern laminates have all the benefits of a composite stock with a traditional wood look.

Obviously, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Not everyone is going to like every product we carry. What I appreciate is the honest feedback you have provided.

The AICS dbm inletting is definitely in the works. We are helping GRS by supplying the dbms so we can add this as an option.

Our goal is that the inletting option be available at no additional cost as it is with our competition tactical stock we currently sell.

I too have a Manners and it is an excellent stock. Everyone in our office liked it so much that we have recently become Manners dealers to add their line to our own.

That being said, I like my guns to have personality. This is something that, in my opinion, the Manners and other chassis systems do not have. The GRS stocks, whether you like the design or not, definitely has personality.

When I was younger, I rode race bikes. The Yamahas, Hondas, and Suzukis were all great bikes, but they were just tools to accomplish something. If you wanted a bike with personality, you would buy a Ducati, Bimota, or MV Agusta.

These GRS stocks are the Ducatis of the stock world. They do the same job as other stocks, but with personality.

I look forward to the response of my opine.

Happy shooting!

“with the current “introductory price” of the GRS stocks it doesn’t appear to me that they are extremely pricey…”

Obviously your budget is larger than mine for discretionary funds. By some comparisons you may be correct as far as the price is concerned but that doesn’t make it right. It’s the value of the commodity I’m addressing.

The introductory price lasts for 3 more days for a total of 7-8 days based on the published date of the information. I wasn’t aware of this release until I saw it here. For most of us that would be a stretch to implement a purchase of this type with that immediacy. My money tree doesn’t have $1,000 hanging off it’s branches today. Or maybe I’m one of the very few who objects to paying these prices for plywood, adjustable or not.

You can compare this pricing to anything you choose of course but comparing it to an all-aluminum, machined chassis system is out of that realm. AI chassis’ have been overpriced since their release to the American market and they just get worse. After all, these are simply some aluminum tubing with molded plastic skins. But they have that certain ‘Je ne sais quoi’ appeal to the shooters looking for that style. The grip doesn’t work with my hand so I don’t have to be left wanting one.

The Norwegians and the other Scandinavian countries have done their research and set their product pricing according to the highest price point which they know the Americans will pay. The rest of the world will swallow hard and follow suit.

On the other hand, I worked with an old German stockmaker for several years. Another stockmaker complained of being far too busy and yet not making enough money. The old German replied, “raise your prices to get rid of the small, no-money jobs and keep raising them until your work load gets manageable from the clients who value your work.”

I have no doubt that GRS, with these stocks, will meet with financial success. Maybe I should fire up the CNC and make some stocks for sale?

I agree. It’s about the same price as an AICS, and the same or less than most other chassis systems and composite or laminate stocks with the same features. My Manners T5 cost about a grand with the adjustable cheek piece, and my laminate PR&T Lowboy F-class stock basically doubled in price (again, to around a grand) with the addition of the adjustable cheek piece and buttplate, and that didn’t include what I paid my smith to clearcoat it.

Editor: Kurz, with the current “introductory price” of the GRS stocks it doesn’t appear to me that they are extremely pricey if you consider they are fully-inletted, finish-sanded, fully-finished stocks complete with adjustable hardware for buttstock and cheekpiece.

“The action inlets on the GRS Remington stocks are all BDL floorplate
style. We are working on getting a CDI bottom metal inlet for the
Accuracy International magazines. For right now, it’s just the
floorplate basemetal.”
