I went strictly by the ad copy, Miller. Don't know for sure 'till its in my grubby little hands.

The 2 3/4 thing wouldn't bother me a bit, as the 2 1/2" ammo I would feed it would be fine. 'Bubba won't buy it, as it needs camo tape on the stock to complete it, and Darlene has her eye on a new surround sound...

That stock is simply phenomenal...not a hammer guy myself, but the neatest thing I've seen in a long, long, while.

PS Thorny, 29" tubes, and I 'gotta believe this thing would handle as good as it looks.
