How good are Hogue stocks?
The Hogue Overmold stock is not only effective but attractive. The standard stock has good features such as dual sling swivels so that I may mount both a bipod and a sling, but overall the stock leaves much to be desired, despite the rifle’s easy accuracy, so the ugly stock had to go.
Are Hogue Stocks free floating?
Hogue centerfire rifle stocks are designed to free float the barrel for maximum accuracy with models available for both standard as well as heavy “varmint” barrels.
Are Howa rifles good quality?
From my experience and research, the Howa 1500 is a very accurate rifle. Many of the other sub $500 rifles out there are also very accurate and nearly all of them come with a sub-moa guarantee, as does the Howa 1500. In my opinion, these rifles all have similar accuracy.
Does the Hogue come with a flat washer?
It DOES come with a wider diameter flat washer that you reuse in place of the standard circular flat washer that comes with the gun. The reason is that the smaller diameter standard one will not seat properly in the Hogue stock since the bolt hole inside the Hogue stock is wider than standard stock.
Will a Mossberg Maverick washer fit in a Hogue stock?
The Hogue shotgun stock w/ 12 inch LOP for the Mossberg Maverick went on easily. They provided a flat washer; presumably to replace the smaller Mossberg washer; but the OEM washer was the same size…Used the Hogue washer anyway and left the OEM washer to rattle around in the OEM stock.
Where are the recoil pad screws on the Hogue stock?
The recoil pad screws on the Hogue stock are exposed by pressing down on the top and bottom of the pad. This stock will make the gun more maneuverable. I will probably add an additional slip-on recoil pad over the existing one.
Why no lock washer in Hogue stock?
The reason is that the smaller diameter standard one will not seat properly in the Hogue stock since the bolt hole inside the Hogue stock is wider than standard stock. I also reused the “lock washer” that comes standard with the gun.
