Kelbly’s and GRS Introduce New Low-Profile F-Class Stock
Made in Norway by GRS, the new Kelbly “X-Eater” stock combines an ergonomic grip with the superior tracking ability of the latest, low-profile designs. Height-adjustable cheek-piece and length-adjustable buttpad allow the shooter to tailor the stock to his preferences. The ergonomic grip/wrist helps the shooter steer the rifle precisely with greater control. The low-profile design aids tracking and helps tame the torque generated by the large 7mm and .30-cal cartridges favored by top F-Open competitors.

The fore-end is made with the same twin-runner (catamaran-style) design as the previous GRS F-Class Open stock. (On the underside of the fore-end there are left/right rails with a relieved area in the center). The big change is that this new stock sits lower on the front bag compared to the first F-Class stock from GRS. The rear of the stock is designed for a two-stitch rear bag. Initially the stock will only be offered in Right Hand versions in black/blue and red/blue laminate.

I can’t tell for sure if the fore-end is lengthened like the PR&T, Manners, and McMillan F-class stocks, but it doesn’t look like it. I wonder why they didn’t do so, if they were building dedicated F-class stock.
The other question I have is cost. It looks almost “ready to go”, just needs to be bedded (curious as to why it’s shown with a magazine too). If the total cost is hundreds less because you don’t have to pay to have it finished, it might be a good value proposition for a quality stock.
They have it pictured on the Kelbly website, but I couldn’t find any pricing info. Going to GRS’s site, it is not even shown there. Wish they would update their sites BEFORE isuing press releases!
You really have to search out the approximate price for this stock. It’s on the GRS website and is listed as 4992 Krone or $837.071 NOT including VAT and shipping.
I’m sure that they have an established price in conjunction with Kelbly’s but you’d think that Kelbly’s would put it on their website. Maybe Kelbly’s simply wants to get generate attention with contacts to ask about the price?
Regards.
I dont understand the mag either as it’s not allowed to use it during competition.
Also the comb gap doesnt make sense to me, why have it so big?
