Have two, one finished, one unfinished. No issue with fit of either, finish on finished one fine, on unfinished one could be a little smoother and will work it a little further but am fairly particular. Questions promptly answered, prompt shipping, would order again.
I put one on my 375 Chatfield-Taylor.
I like it, but did shorten the forend and hollow out the butt to reduce weight. If you get one, I would suggest you do the same, but don't get a swivel stud in the forend. Do this later after you cut it shorter.

I got one shipped up ( harder now due to import regulations but they will help with this). It fit OK but needed some minor minor work and bedding. It's now on my 300WM and has been very stable. I hogged out the barrel channel a bit and drilled the butt to lighten it, they will do this for a fee. It is not a drop in if such a thing exists but I would buy another.

- not where i want to
i have two of there thumb hole stocks. one on my 22-250 muaser and one i got for my dads 6.5 there awsome love the feel the fit they come with butt bads to . one was inleted and the other was not the inletting was great . the unfished needs some sending but not to bad as for shipping any thing under 100 in parts they ship and the shipping does not count . as long as the stock it self is under 100 your good to go good luck .
I have one still, just my 35 Whelen currently sits in it
. I had it originally for my Alaskan, but when I sold my gun the buyer didn't want the stock. I had it bedded by a smith and added a kick-ezz pad to it. As for fit and finish I had to do a little work, especially opening the barrel contour up to fit the Alaskans profile. Here's a picture of my Alaskan before I sold it. BTW mine was the "finished" stock they offer. 
I just put a Boyds Featherweight Thumbhole on my Weatherby Vanguard 300WM. I can not believe the reduction in recoil with this stock. It feels like my 270 now. Best $92.00 I've spent in a while.
Super light too. 2.3 lbs.
It took me less than five minutes to switch the stocks over with no issues whatsoever. I even ran a piece of paper down the channel after to make sure no touching on the barrel and all is good.
Quality product for a bargain price.

I have three. One on my M70 .264, M700 VSSF II .204 and the other will be going on a M700 8mm RM. Very nice stocks for the money. Even better when you get them for 50% off during the crazy sale
Thats what I did to mine as well, set the pillars to establish the action height in the stock and Devcon it up. Mine is on a Vanguard .300 Weatherby mag, formerly tupperware.
338WM, I had the stock cut to 13.5", and he had to grind fit the Kick-ezz pad. It was also bedded at the smiths at the same time. I think he did a great job of it. Shot well on my Alaskan to. Haven't shot it much with the Whelen in it yet. Hope to get out this weekend.
Sure no problem, I had the work done at Wise Choice gunsmithing. Rob Wise is the owner. He is just about 10min north of Epps. If I remember correctly he is Ellwood Epps's grandson. The original owner of Ellwood Epps Sporting Goods. Rob is a good guy and knows his stuff, I have never had a problem with any of the work I had done there.
