I have found the winner of the worst stock layout award. This item on Ebay has a perfect 3" knot in the exact middle of the stock where the grip or action would be. On top of that the seller values the stock at $125.00 which is big money for a stock blank on Ebay. For that much you can often get a decent stock. Not one which needs to be taken directly to the fire place.
