I recently returned my Rem. Genesis because of a pitting issue on the reciever. I upgraded to the stainless one because it was on sale and noticed they had them with the thumb hole gray laminate version for $511.00. I paid 299.00 for the same action that came with the cheap plastic stock with these cheesy gray rubber inlays. The thumbhole stock looks like a Boydes Ross design and I have the same one on my Ruger MKII and really find it to be a great stock. Here is the thing I only paid 75.00 for the semi finished stock. Does anybody know who makes this stock for Remington? It is not listed on the Boydes website so I don't think they made it.
