I received my Howa Model
I500 yesterday afternoon and must say that I am extremely impressed with
the custom fiberglass stock you installed on this barreled action for
me. It fits like an old glove and really comes to my shoulder as if it
were part of my body.
I appreciate the fine workmanship your firm has provided on this rifle
and for the addition of the muzzle break, trigger work and jewelling the
bolt as I requested. I look forward to many happy hours of hunting with
this rifle and know that I will be successful in the field.
Thanks for your excellent service.

I received the "FN" with the new MPI
custom stock yesterday & I just want to tell you your work is the
greatest... It's exactly what I wanted & the fit and style is
outstanding.
I only hope that I use the
gun now because it looks so great...In any event, I scoped it last night
& I intended to sit back and admire it for a week or two before going to
the range.
Again thank you .... your
service was timely as well & your MPI literature was right on target....
the stock is quality +++.

I am writing to tell you how
impressed I am with your stocks.
For ten years in my business
of repairing, custom designing and stocking rifles with composite
stocks, I have been painfully aware of the fact that manufacturers with
whom I have dealt have mis-represented their products. Customers have
supplied me with other manufacturers' sticks and they have not lived up
to the advertised claims.
Your product has surpassed
all expectations as to all claims and stock design. I have used your
product exclusively for the past eight years and I must say that the
ease of bedding and the almost perfect external finish makes for a
Gunsmith's delight. I have bedded many a rifle in all types of stocks,
however, yours is the most simple which ends up with the finest results.
After seeing what the market
has produced and the current availability of composite stocks your
product is five star top of the line. I will continue to use your
product exclusively for all my discriminating customers.

I thought you
guys might like to know how my Browning /Shilen A-Bolt (7mm STW) shoots.
My first shots, after break in, went into a group that measured 1/2" by
5/16. This was only for 4 shots, as my first went 2 inches higher due to
an oily barrel. The next groups of 5 shots, with clean barrels, were all
1/2 to 3/4 inches all day long! Regardless of bullet! I I only tried 3
different bullets so far but I am impressed. The best part is the
reduction in felt recoil. This gun used to bruise and abuse after 6
shots. My shoulder hurt for days and I shoot big bores (.458 mags,
375's, etc.) well. Now, it feels less than my .300 Win Mag! Other
friends who now have shot both rifles can't believe the difference.
I know the
barrel from Shilen makes a difference, in recoil and accuracy, but I
think your stock adds significantly. Again, I want to thank you all for
a fine job.

A small letter of appreciation for a job
that you did in stocking my Kimber 22. The job was very professional and
it looks great. In a recent trip to the range, I shot a .483 5-group at
50 yards with this rifle; a considerable improvement over the wooden
stock.
Again thank you for the outstanding job
that you have done.
