Knoxx007aThe new BLACKHAWK!

The Axiom TH stock is made using durable composite and alloy construction for years of rugged use for sport shooters and hunters. For a customizable fit, the stock comes with interchangeable rubber grip inserts that adjust the overall size of the pistol grip. The barrel channel is a full-float that will fit any barrel diameter. Aluminum pillars provide added stability and strength. The unique design of the stock cuts muzzle rise and the traditional comb design is made for comfort and consistent target acquisition. The precision receiver is compatible with bi-pods. A 14-cubic inch rear storage compartment is conveniently located in the butt of the stock for small items. The Axiom TH Thumbhole Rifle Stock is available in black polymer or universal camo for the Remington 700 BDL – short and long action, and the Howa 1500/Weatherby Vanguard BDL for short and long action.
