K95 ultimate/ ultimate carbon stocks.

[Kiwiroger]

Hi fellow members, interested to know who is using either of these two fairly new stocks on the k95 and your opinion good or bad about them compared to the traditional wood stock in its various forms Bavarian/ straight comb .

I’ve always been a wood guy for sporting rifles, especially in a kipplauf.

As far as stock design goes, if you ever want to use the iron sights, the Bavarian is the way to go. The straight stock does not have the drop to get a good sight picture with irons from my experience. If all you will ever run is an optic, either design will serve you well.

Best

If you can handle one, I think you will be impressed. They are really nice.

I know you Kiwi's take it in the shorts on the price of things, so it would suck to not like the rifle after you got it.

I like the way they feel. I"d like to have one. But not sure I am enough of a hunter, and not enough of a shooter to own one again.

Nobody uses open sights. I disagree and I think they are stupid on any rifle. Most of us are old enough that we can't see the damn things anyway.

I have removed them off of all my rifles. I am happy as they don't get hunt up on stupid things they used to. I remember cutting my hand to the bone as a teenager because of open sights and grabbing a rifle as I was pulling it out f the truck trying to catch up to some antelope.

At 50 I don't need irons.

Carbon is a lot of cost for a few ounces. I handled one it is pure sex, but I don't think it is nice enough at that price point to be something I'd buy over a standard plastic one. If you have the coin I don't think you would be disappointed with it.

The used car tax on a carbon is going to be bloody high if you try to sell if you happen to be unhappy with it.

I vote hell yes on the Success K95 over the wood stocks.

All new K95s have a hybrid German-American classic stocks anyway.

I’ve been using a K95 ultimate for a few years now, mainly due to the type of hunting I do (up to -40C by snowmobile, mountain hunts with lots of rain, lots of pushing brush). Situations here wood would take a beating. Handles great, doesn’t scratch too easily and less to stress about when out on the land. I’ll never go back to wood stocks, despite them being arguably prettier.
