MK 85 stock
Which is your favorite and why? Mine has the plastic stock and I have been thinking about finding another one like a laminated stock or a thumb hole stock. I like mine but wonder about how strong it is and if I could find a replacement if something happened. Ron

I have a number of different stocks. It depends on the hunting I am doing. If I am stand hunting, I prefer my thumbhole for sure. Still hunting or bad weather, usually the synthetic std stock. My laminate is the prettiest, to me.
In regards to the factory synthetic stocks...I feel they are pretty darn good. And as far as a replacement...the std synthetic seems to be the most popular around. Ron, I have the same one you do on the gun I bought new in 1994. I doubt you'll have any issues with it.

TN...they are not made by Knight anymore, so just around (classifieds, various gun auction sites, ebay, etc), but honestly not that often. I've been looking for a certain one for a while (2yrs) with no luck.
What do you haven and what are you looking for?

The thumbholes see to be very few and far between. About the easist way would be to find a whole gun...buy it, swap stocks and resell. But even those are not that common it seems.
I have a laminated th stock that I did that with...its gorgeous and I love it. Was made by Wenig Custom Gunstocks. I contacted them earlier this year to see if they still offered them, they said yes they do. Here was the email I got.
"We still have the patterns for this gun, we have the thumbhole that you have and a straight field type stock. Machine inletted do it yourself stocks are going to start at $175.00 and completely finished like yours at $900.00"
LOL was all I could do. I paid $200 for the whole gun like new with a scope AND that stock.
