GRS Loke, Howa 1500 SA

• Competition-focused ergonomics: The near-vertical grip, thumb rests and textured contact surfaces support a relaxed wrist angle and repeatable hand position, which helps maintain control during prone, bench and positional shooting.
• Adjustable fit: The adjustable cheek piece and 375.00 mm length of pull make it easier to align the eye naturally behind the optic and set the rifle up for different body sizes, clothing layers or shooting positions.
• Stable long-range platform: The 59.00 mm forend and varmint barrel channel are suited to heavier-barrel builds and supported shooting, giving the rifle a steadier feel on bags, bipods and tripods.
• Laminate construction with glass bedding: The laminate stock body offers rigidity and consistent handling, while the glass-bedded design helps the action sit securely for dependable accuracy potential.
• Accessory-ready layout: The Loke fore-end is pre-drilled for an Arca rail and prepared for a GRS Spigot, making it easier to configure the rifle for modern PRS, NRL and ELR support equipment.

About the GRS Loke Series

GRS Loke sits in the brand’s laminate-stock range as a purpose-built option for shooters who want a competition-oriented stock rather than a traditional hunting shape. GRS positions the series for long-range, PRS and NRL shooting, where rifle control, repeatable body position and efficient use of support gear matter as much as raw accuracy. The Loke is built from birch laminate, giving it the solid feel and stiffness many precision shooters prefer, while keeping the familiar warmth and handling of a stock rather than a metal chassis.

A defining feature of the series is its ergonomics. GRS gives the Loke a textured grip with thumb rests and an angle close to 90 degrees, which promotes a more neutral wrist position for prone and barricade work. The fore-end is pre-drilled for an Arca rail, and the stock is prepared for mounting a GRS Spigot, so it integrates naturally with tripods, bipods and other match accessories. GRS also highlights the stock’s recoil line and height-adjustable recoil pad, both intended to help the rifle track more consistently under recoil and make follow-up observation easier.

About the GRS Loke, Howa 1500 SA

The GRS Loke, Howa 1500 SA is tailored to the Howa 1500 short action and is aimed at shooters building a stable rifle for competition, extended-range practice and general precision use. Its laminate construction gives the stock a firm, planted character that suits rifles with heavier optics and varmint-profile barrels, while the 0,86 in (22 mm) diameter barrel channel provides the clearance needed for that style of build. At 1800.00 g and 850.00 mm overall length, it is designed less as a lightweight field stock and more as a platform that supports consistent shooting from prone, benches and improvised rests.

The stock’s fit-adjustment features are central to how it performs in practice. An adjustable cheek piece helps establish a repeatable head position behind the scope, which is especially important on rifles used at varying distances and from different support positions. The 375.00 mm length of pull, together with the series’ height-adjustable recoil pad design, helps the rifle sit correctly in the shoulder and track more predictably during recoil. The grip shape, with its near-vertical angle and added texture, supports finer trigger control and reduces strain during long strings of fire.

For shooters using modern support equipment, the Loke layout is particularly useful. The fore-end is pre-drilled for an Arca rail and prepared for a GRS Spigot, so the stock can be set up for tripod work, bipods and bags without changing its core handling. Glass bedding further supports a secure action fit, making this GRS hunting stock and competition stock a strong match for a precision-oriented Howa 1500 SA rifle.

About GRS

GRS began in 2010 in Grodås, Hornindal, Norway, growing out of a family business that started in 1983 as Grodås Møbler AS, a furniture manufacturer. That background helps explain the company’s emphasis on stock shaping, ergonomics and practical fit. GRS focuses on rifle stocks for hunting and shooting, with product families that include Hunter Light, Sporter, Bifrost, Fenris, Warg and Ragnarok.

The company produces laminate and composite rifle stocks as well as aluminum chassis stocks, covering traditional hunting rifles through to competition-oriented precision builds. GRS began making laminate rifle stocks in 2011, and its designs are closely associated with user-adjustable ergonomics, including the GRS SpeedLock adjustment system. With headquarters in Hornindal, GRS has built its reputation around stocks that adapt rifle fit to the shooter rather than forcing the shooter to adapt to the rifle.
