Description

We’ve been making the Sheep Hunter for 15 years but, always pushing forward, we decided to build a better one. After over two years of development we are proud to release this, our best Sheep Hunter yet. Equally at home in the high mountains, the deep woods, or the wide open plains, this lightweight workhorse is a compliment to any rifle. At 22 ounces it won’t weigh you down, and its hybrid glass and carbon construction will handle the heavy recoil and hard conditions of the most extreme hunts.

This model is designed for the Howa 1500 rifle.

 

Some Key Features:

  • Over 50% stronger than our previous models while shaving off ~5% of the weight
  • No cartridge limitations (as long as it’s a shoulder-fired cartridge that is!)
  • High-strength fill for increased rigidity
  • Carbon fiber & fiberglass shell construction
  • High-strength integral pillars and recoil lug seat
  • CNC machined inletting for precise fit
  • Click on “Additional Information” tab for full specs.

 

 

A note on stock fit:
Our stocks are designed to accommodate factory and some aftermarket components and you’ll find they fit very precisely in most cases.  Variations in models, production runs, and the installation of aftermarket parts can prevent the stocks from achieving the perfect fit out of the box.  While we do our best to ensure an excellent fit across the broadest range of components, we can’t guarantee perfection. For example: you may find that your barrel points more to the left or to the right in the barrel channel. Threads on the action or barrel that wander even slightly can easily cause this and isn’t something we can control. A great solution to this is bedding. As custom gun makers we carefully bed all of our rifles. In order to get the best fit we recommend you do the same (or have us do it!)
