it's not too bad, I've had one on a ruger m77 once when i first started getting back into shooting firearms, and my brother in law has one on a winc. mdl70
the cobblestone grip is nice, the aluminum block is a plus, pretty lightweight and "grippy". the bottom of the grip also seems to "hook" a little and helps with bringing the platform into the shoulder.
it has some nice features and is a utility type of hunting stock. which is hard to find a decent upgraded stock with those features for under $250. next in line would be a bell and carlson medalist with an embedded full aluminum chassis.
the hogue has it's critics and its praisers, but when you strip it down it's a decent stock that delivers on its claims or design without breaking the bank.
no only if magpul came out with a savage hunter stock....
