Whse using one for TR or Fclass and where did you get it from?
Any idea on just how much difference it makes in your score as opposed to a good laminate?

Fclass guns, not TR, and not for a Savage.

That is what I am deducing through some Pm's and emails.
Sounds like there is going to be another Reibin- built stock in the house!

Cat... I really have no idea who puts them together but I have to tell you since I've shot against them.... they are awesome and and have kicked my 65 yr. old ass as well as my beloved 40X numerous times....

How many times have you kicked butt on the other end ?

I'm just not too sure if I want to jump into one at this time, I am not so disillusioned as to think that I am going to magically pick up 5 points per range by using a certain piece of equipment just because it is the latest greatest as i have been out of competitive shooting for many years, this is why I am trying to find out.

Norm is right in that a stock in itself will not necessarily give you higher scores,however proper stock fit can.
I've shot a tube gun for sometime now and it has helped me in achieving some successes in match competition.
Personally ,I prefer the AR15 styled pistol gripped profile as I can adjust it to fit and easily modify it to suit my needs.
That being said I also shoot "traditional" styled rifle stocks that I have "fitted" to my own needs.
There are a number of different Tube Kits available on the market these days and all are designed for DIY assembling.(some are glue in while others do not require it)
It is a another valid option to stocking your competitive rifle and worth consideration.

A homemade tube gun won the BCRA Tactical rifle match AND the top team were both using the same homemade tube guns.

They won't "give" you any points... but if you are more comfortable with the ergonomic of the rifle... they 'might' help you in you quest to not "loose" points...

Guys (and gals) usually get them straight from the manufacturer...
Kevin is a good guy to deal with. (tubegun net)

The MDT TAC21 is another nice option.
