Tom,
Just thinking ahead. I have an Evol 30 Tac and I'm also looking at getting the HPS 22 with the new stock. Will the new stock be interchangeable between the two? I know the safety is in a different location with the new wood stock. If I wanted to put the wood stock on my Evol Tac 30, would I just remove the lower and swap trigger groups or is there more to it that's involved?

im also interested on this since i have the evol .30 tac, it will be awesome if i just can buy that beautiful wood stock and swap it, i like the tac version but man, that wood stock looks great.
AAA (Tom) mentioned that he had several different types of EVOLs there for people to check out. I was under the impression that they were only "concept" guns that are maybe or maybe not going into production in the future. It seemed like the wood one was only made for EBR. It ended up being actioned off at the end of the EBR and sold for over $4,000.

There are some differences that need to be addressed. 1) The burst disk has been relocated from the side to the bottom of the receiver. This negates the need to carve a relief on the right side of the inletting. To use an older receiver this area will have to whittled out for clearance. 2) The trigger package has two differences, a set back trigger and a different safety lever.
So yes it is possible but not sure it will make economic sense.

I guess that I didn't realize how much was changed. Thanks for your openness. In regards to the overall weight, is that 6.3 lbs with an 18" .30cal barrel? If it is, that's not bad at all.
Tom, I know whatever stock is on one of actions it will be designed for hunting as well, but that wood stock l would be afraid to ever take it out of the safe but to admire it!
Maybe a Benchrest version as well?
Already in the works.
