Hey guys! Was going to give a little review on my Wenig experience for those that are pondering the idea.
I made the decision to get a stock completed in July while I was at the Wisconsin State shoot. It was a little hectic getting into my fitting time. If I remember right I was suppose to be there by 10:30 or 11 am and I don't believe they got me in until late afternoon, early evening. I understood how everything was with other fittings going too long. I finally got my turn. My dimensions were taken from a PFS stock that had been fitting okay, but I wasn't asked if I was happy with that fitment. My issues, not there's.
When I got up into the trailer, I met with Bill, who already had a pattern stock on my receiver. It was for a sporting 725 so we had to build the comb up. No biggie as Bill knew what he was doing. The fitting process was pretty fun. I was able to see my stock taking shape. Bill asked a lot of great questions but I do wish I would have knew even more about what I wanted. The day was moving along and I really felt like I should start making my way out of there. I didn't want to keep Bill there any longer. I shot a round at the grounds and it felt pretty good so I got out of there and took the bondo stock with me to shoot for the rest of the summer.
I used the stock during my clubs summer league and began putting up some great scores. I was really happy with my results. I made a plan to drive to Wenig to drop my stock off and get an alteration done to the comb. It went smooth and I left the stock there to be finished off.
Fast forward to today and I finally received my finished stock. I'm happy with the way things look. I fear that I may have changed a bit and things could be off. From when I got the stock made in July to now I am down over 20 pounds. I was able to shoot two rounds today. I missed the first target out and then ran the next 49. I obviously have the adjustable comb but after those 50 targets I did have a red mark within my shoulder pocket. Maybe I could chalk it up as I wore a bad shirt that was rubbing the wrong way or that I haven't shot in 6 months. Whatever the cause, I hope I can figure it out or it stops so I can enjoy my custom stock.
I wanted to keep it cost effective so no forearm was made and I went with a basic wood. We aren't winning any contests.
