Lead Time on iota Custom Stocks Drops

College Station, Texas   – Due to an increase in manufacturing capabilities and efficiencies, iota Outdoors is pleased to announce a reduction in lead time for custom stocks by more than 50%. Customers can now expect shipment on custom stocks 2.5 weeks from order date, down from 6 weeks.

The KREMLIN and KRUX custom rifle stocks – launched in January 2016 and January 2017, respectively – are composite molded and reinforced with a carbon fiber inlay for superior strength in a lightweight build. They feature molded-in colors and ports, custom-fit AirTech recoil pads by LimbSaver and machined pillars. They are available in Remington 700 or clone actions and a variety of configurations including right or left hand, short or long action, BDL or M5 bottom metal, and various barrel channels. Both stocks retail for $529.99.

Standard colors include Citadel Grey, Sentinel Green and Gobi Tan. Custom colors – with more than 20 color swatches to choose from – are available for no extra charge and without any additional lead time required.

“We know that more often than not a stock can be the pacing item for a custom rifle. For a custom rifle builder, that can be the deciding factor in how many projects they can produce in a year, directly affecting their income,” commented Derrick Ratliff, president and founder of iota. “From the very beginning, the current industry standard of eight to ten month lead times was not acceptable to us. We have worked hard to lower our lead times and we couldn’t be more happy with a two-and-a-half week lead time.”
