The H-S Precision Superlite Gen 2 stock is made from aluminum, polyurethane foams, Kevlar and other lightweight, strong but durable materials to deliver a rugged and accurate light weight field stock for precision rifles.
H-S Precision rifle stocks are fully manufactured in the U.S. The aluminum bedding block is CNC machined to the specific dimensions of the Howa 1500 barreled action. The aluminum bedding block is then placed into a mold, both sides of the mold are hand laminated with Kevlar, fiberglass and carbon fiber. Next, the mold is injected with a proprietary mixture of a dense polyurethane foam. Then the stock is hand finished to ensure that it is perfect and ready for the end user’s needs. As field stocks, these H-S Precision products maintain the traditional line and profile customary to most hunting rifles. This includes a triangular shaped buttstock, a curved wrist and a thin fore-end.
