Master-Class Stock Dimensions

The woodwork on this Macpherson is a testament to bespoke fitting. With a generous 9/16" cast off at the heel and a 14 3/8" Length of Pull, it is expertly configured for the right-handed shooter seeking a natural, snag-free mount.

  • Drop at Comb: 1 5/8"
  • Drop at Heel: 2 5/16"
