RidgeRunner: You got any photos of the ones you've had done (and then finished yourself)? I'd appreciate it.


Bigbulls: If I were putting this on a awesome action, then I might consider a thousand dollar (range) of stock. It's going on a 5 year old Winchester 70 (not the classic, pre-64 type controlled feed action, but the new push feed type action) in a 7mm Rem. Mag. It is a good shooter, has a 26" bbl and will put 3 shots with factory ammo in a ~1" circle 90% of the time.

But it does have one ugly-butt synthetic stock with no feeling or character.

So if I can get a AA fancy Claro Walnut stock cut in a Monte Carlo style for 179.00 (http://www.rifle-stocks.com/montecarlo.htm), I think that'd be a good fit of nice semi-custom stock to a very middle-of-the-road action and caliber.

I'm not sure why you're calling it semi-custom either, considering that if I were the one to sand and polish it, trust me, that it would certainly be one of a kind. One way or the other.
