Composite bolt action rifle stocks by Norwegian GRS Riflestocks have a very well-thought-out design and have been quite popular among hunters and shooters across the globe. Some firearm manufacturers even offer versions of their rifles equipped with these stocks. The latest example of such cooperation is the recently announced Mauser 18 Fenris rifle, an M18 that comes standard with the GRS Fenris stock.

MAUSER 18 Fenris
Uncompromising, powerful, robust: The new MAUSER 18 Fenris was named af- ter the wolf Fenrir from Norse mythology.
The ergonomic GRS stock with comb that can be height adjusted at the press of a button and the length adjustable recoil pad can be adapted to any situation in a matter of seconds. Whether in active hunting or at the shooting range: This “predator” puts hunters who focus on practical application and shooting prey at the ultimate end of the food chain.
GRS Fenris is the latest member of this family of composite stocks. The main difference of the Fenris from its siblings is the Honeycomb pattern on the grip and forearm. The GRS Fenris stock features a quick adjustable cheekpiece and length of pull, QD sling swivel sockets on the left side of the forearm and the buttstock, and a sling/bipod stud at the bottom of the forearm.
Note the Honeycomb pattern on the grip and forearm
