Three years ago I had a Browning X-Bolt Varmint Special chambered in a .308 custom ordered with a laminate stock from their company. I have maybe 30 rounds through the gun and went to consign it at a local shop to try and sell. After they inspected it, they found that the stock had split all around the thumb hole. I've never dropped the gun in its entire life but does have a small scratch on the forehand on the opposite side of the split. I am dumbfounded and mad as to why the stock has split apart. I had a gunsmith install a muzzle break on the rifle when I first bought it so I don't know if possibly they could of broken the stock but who knows.
Anyways I can't sell it until I either repair it or buy a new stock for the gun. Now I'm thinking on keeping it and want to put a nice composite stock on it but can't find anybody who makes stocks for a Browning X-bolt. Any ideas on where to look? Many companies make stocks for the A-bolt but the X-bolt seems to be a lost cause. Browning quoted me $350 for the same laminate stock that came with the gun or $200 for a composite but I'd like to get a nice tactical style stock.
