Default Wildcat Stocks

Anyone have Stuart from Wildcat Customs build a stock for them? I’m interested in possibly having one built, just wondering if they’re any better than a Bell and Carlson.

I’ve had one, sold it about a week ago. I’ve also had bell and Carlson. There’s no comparison, the wildcat is much better. It was stiff, light and it fit me very well.

I have two ... the first, one of the “standard” versions, and one of the VarTac version designed by KSA. I had Stuart do an all-in finish which included the stock, finish paint, aluminum pillars, epoxy bedding, sling studs, recoil pad. As strong and stiff as any composite stock I have handled. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

I have only handled the Wildcat stock at KS Arms but that’s what I will be buying the next time.

I would rate the McMillan edge fill stock a step up from the wildcat, partially due to stock dimensions.

Having a Wildcat stock built for my Tikka 695 as soon as KSA finishes the rebarrel.

I had one built and love it. Had lots of help along the way from a certain member here, it was a project for me, and that makes it even more special now that the project is completed.

I have a couple B&C stocks, would never put one on a hunting rifle though. The Target/Competition stocks I have are nicely designed and finished but weigh far to much for anything other than a prone/bench rig.

Stuart is working on a K98 stock right now for me; I've had plastic dropin, brown precision (still a favourite and still in the safe), Mcmillan, and B&C. I would put his stocks right up there with Brown precision. Well made product.
