Ahrends stocks have a lot going for them. Their quality, fit and finish make them a great buy. If they were checkered, they would be perfect for me, but I've discovered that checkered stocks suit me better, so as I sell my Ahrends off, I replace them with Herrett's Shooting Stars.
Some of us like the finger grooved type. They're the only wood grip I can shoot with because of their finish. They don't slip in your hand!
Please excuse the 610 on top? It's all original with Altmount grips and they are horrible to shot with!
