I am looking for an aftermarket stock for a new rifle. In the past I have looked at Hogue, but their website has been down every time I checked for the past few days. Are they no longer a going concern?

Thanks
 
I tried again. This time using my phone and it worked fine. For some reason my work computer doesn't like it. Sorry for the misunderstanding! :oops:

And then only to find out they don't make stocks for my rifle!

There are better options for not much more money. If you don't want to spend the money for a high end McMillan or Brown Precision then I'd be looking at Bell and Carlson Medalist.
 
Is Hoque stock flimsy at the forearm or rigid? better than the typical polymer stocks?

Can't speak to their other stocks but their Mauser sporter stock has integral pillar bedding and their more expensive Mauser stock has a full length bedding block. https://www.hogueinc.com/stocks/mauser98

The overmolding gives a grippy surface that some may or may not like. For a cheap stock--aka pillar bedded stock, it is pretty decent and better than some of the low end stocks floating around--but it is a polymer stock with its advantages and disadvantages.

But, unless you have a trued Mauser action with an expensive barrel, the full length bedding stock is probably overkill for something like hunting deer. The extra hundred bucks or so for the full length might be worth it if you want a fully supported forend but for a bit more you can get a tried and trued stock from other sources. If you are spending that kind of money on action and barrel, then not putting it into the best stock you can get is probably a recipe for less than optimal results in accuracy and satisfaction.
 
I'd put the Hogue on par with most of the poly stocks on current production guns for stiffness. Some of the better production stocks are better than the Hogue.
