I'm am sitting on the fence with this one.

If they are the right "fit" then they are excellent, but if they are not a very good fit then they are terrible.

Normal sporter stocks are much more forgiving IMHO

My mate has his CZ 527 .204ruger fitted in a laminate thumbhole pattern richards microfit stock and i must say it is the most comfortable rifle i have ever put to my shoulder.........awesome looking stock too

I saw a stunning laminate thumbhole stocked CZ Varmint on Rimfire Central.Reading into it though you buy a very rough basis stock & you have to do a load of inletting for the action to fit.
I'd be happy to buy one & do all the sanding & varnishing/oiling myself,but to have to inlet the stock yourself is taking the peepee.

The richards microfit ones are not that bad to fit yourself really, my mate was worried he would have to pay to have it fitted by a pro but it only took him a hour here and there for a few days to get the perfect fit. The inletting is more or less done, you just have to fine tune them for the perfect fit
