A hybrid walnut stock with metal chassis

Gear that’s built to be handed down rather than changed stands out, and that’s especially true for those Vooks who are leaning toward that idea with the new Elegant Hybrid Bolt-Action Stock. It is a single piece of hand-selected Claro American Walnut (California Black Walnut tree), built around an innovative aerospace-grade aluminum mini-chassis, with an adjustable internal weight system for fine-tuning balance. This is a meaningfully different approach than most stock on the market, which hide the chassis inside synthetic furniture rather than natural wood. It is currently offered for the Remington 700 SA/LA, Ruger 10/22 and Ruger American Gen2, covering a wide range of platforms already in use.

Voox Elegant: A hybrid walnut stock with a metal chassis

“The Elegant Series began as a true passion project for our entire team,” said Ben Fleming, CEO of WOOX USA. “Vux has always been known for blending the timeless character of wood with the strength, performance and modern refinement of metal and aluminum. With the Elegant Series, our goal was to create something that felt classic and vintage, while incorporating modern design elements that enhance repeatability, consistency and accuracy.” Fleming adds, “We have put an incredible amount of care, craftsmanship and intention into every detail of this series, and I am confident that the result is a timeless design that will resonate with end users who value both beauty and performance.”

The new Elegant Hybrid runs like a traditional hunting rifle, but shoots with some of the stability that comes at a much higher price. Crafted from carefully selected Claro American walnut, this precision-built hunting platform offers the balance and handling expected from a high-end modern bolt action platform. The hybrid is completely shaped and crafted in Italy, and hand-crafted in Hickory, NC. Weighing only 35 ounces, the Elegant Hybrid is significantly less than the weight of a traditional wooden rifle stock. It utilizes an integrated aluminum mini-chassis and an internal weight system that allows the rifle to be precisely tuned to create the perfect balance between weight, recoil, handling and performance. (Weights sold separately).

For hunters who run a Remington 700 SA/LA, Ruger 10/22, or Ruger American Gen2, the Elegant Hybrid gives you a walnut stock that can still be tuned to a specific setup rather than locking you into a factory weight and balance. The standard American nut costs $549.00, the high-end nut costs $879.00, and WOOX notes that internal weights are sold separately for further customization. As each stock is cut from a single piece of natural walnut, the grain pattern will vary from stock to stock, which is worth bearing in mind if you are selective about the figure. For hunters who plan to keep the rifle and eventually shoot it, that kind of personality, paired with a chassis that holds down, is a fairly unusual combination in this price range.

The elegant hybrid features a vertical grip, flat-bottom forend, negative comb, and integrated thumb rest to provide stability and comfort in any position. This unique stock offers the same precise tolerances and repeatable bed geometry that gives you chassis level performance found in hybrid walnut stocks. The Elegant Hybrid stock is made from a single piece of American walnut with two grades of wood, standard or high grade American walnut. Each is hand-picked and specifically selected for grain and character. Since walnut is a natural material, no two stocks have the same pattern. The one you order is the only one that looks exactly like it, anywhere.

Premium features include:

• Full length standard and high grade American walnut, hand oiled
• Integrated aerospace-grade aluminum mini-chassis
• negative comb design
• 20-degree vertical grip with L/R integrated thumb rest
• Integrated suspension system for balance and weight distribution
• M-LOK 6-slot rail at the 6 o’clock position on the forend for accessories
• Ventilated recoil pad for better comfort
• Adjustable length of pull via optional spacer
