The EH1 was designed for the long-range hunter. The fore-end is 1.75″ wide at the tip and rounded to a beaver tail that is flat and wide enough to accept a Bartlein #8 barrel contour (about 1.125 inches diameter at the tip of the stock). The grip on the stock is more of a vertical tactical style, longer than standard, with a small palm swell. The EH1 comes standard with a 100% carbon fiber shell.
