I've built four rifles on the Mini action, with stocks from McMillan, B&C, & Boyds. I like the Boyds ProVarmint w/adjustable cheekpiece, but it's heavy. I also bought one of their Prairie Hunter stocks, and like the appearance of the royal jacaranda laminate with sniper grey CeraKote on the metal, but don't care for the more open radius pistol grip. Guess years of shooting with McMillan & Manners tactical stocks has gotten me used to their near-vertical grip. The B&C #1003 stock is lighter than the Boyds stocks, plus having a fairly tight radius on the PG, so I like it quite a bit. Am thinking I need to try one of Gunner75's new sporter-style Mini stocks to see if I like the slimmer sporter-style forearm. My current favorite stock for the Mini is a McMillan Game Scout - it's light, has the near-vertical PG that I like, and a sporter-style forearm.
I recently bought a CZ457 Varmint Precision Trainer, which comes with a Manners stock modeled after their very popular PRS1 tactical stock, only w/o adjustable cheekpiece. If I could just manage to talk Tom Manners into building a version of this CZ stock for the Mini, I think I'd be in hog heaven!
