TRACKER
I have had mine since 2002 and it is an excellent gun.
I have all three stocks, Laminate, Regular Synthetic, and Thumbhole Synthetic.... I am not so sure that he thumbhole is worth $200 more.
The regular black synthetic is an OK stock - it is not near as flimsy as some suggest. I does have somewhat of a problem with the lug pockets being shallow but there is a very easy fix for that problem. There a ton of regular synthetic tocks out there that are being use most everyday. One thing that has not been mentioned even if there is a problem or a problem were to develope years down the road - it has a lifetime warranty...
