GRS Thumbhole Stock - Remington 700 BDL SA - Orange Black

Craftsmanship & Construction

The GRS Thumbhole stock is made from ultra-strong birch laminate, chosen for its robustness and stability. An oiled finish enhances the wood’s natural grain, delivering a classic aesthetic while protecting the stock against the elements. The laminate construction provides a durable yet refined foundation, built to withstand the demands of both regular range use and rugged field conditions.

Fit & Comfort

Featuring a thumbhole grip, this stock offers a natural, ergonomic hold that promotes stability and control. The design gives shooters confident handling, reducing wrist fatigue over extended use — ideal for long sessions at the range or extended stalks during a hunt.

Adjustability & Performance

The stock comes with a “SpeedLock” adjustment system, allowing the length of pull (LOP) to be adjusted between 36 and 39 cm. A 0.5" Limbsaver recoil pad is included to absorb recoil and enhance comfort when shooting heavier calibres. These enhancements make the rifle more adaptable to different shooters and shooting positions.
