As much as I love wood on any of my rifles I have to admit some of my hunts have been really tough on my rifles and I am not willing to count new scratches that are always emerging anymore. Thus I would like to have built an all purpose rifle for any weather condition (My calibre choice would 308 Norma Mag. to emulate my 300 H&H). I have made some research and found out that at least McMillan is able to make custom stock on special order. Since I am not an average man (6,5 tall) I need a stock that fits my proportions. A desired length of pull is 15 1/4 inch. I am not willing to solve that situation with additional spacers and extra thick pads which make the stock look rather awful. For me it is essential that a rifle must fit its owner perfectly to reach its best. Do you face similar problem? Do you have any recommendations on some high quality synthetic stock producer? CZ | ||

I have had synthetic stocks lengthened by our own CasII and repainted for about $250 and they look like new. I had one inch decelerator pads installed and the gun looks like a factory synthetic only with a longer length of pull. You may have a problem with a new stock because I believe the synthetic stock suppliers have a limit they can provide for length and I would think at 15+ inches you are topping out. | |||

I've got the same issue as you, 6'2" with a 14 7/8 LOP. I ironically, have gone back to wood stocks as they are a little classier and look better. If you want a synthetic stock though, I have always just added a spacer and new pad plus some paint (Krylon fusion is my preference). Most of the synthetics are painted anyway, so adding a spacer and more paint wont change how it looks. Plus, very easy to change colors if you want. Here is my 375, spacers added, krylon paint. ![]() Didn't like the tan and black web, so went back to black. ![]() And soon it will be going into this (still in progress). ![]() ____________________________ If you died tomorrow, what would you have done today ... 2018 Zimbabwe - Tuskless w/ Nengasha Safaris 2011 Mozambique - Buffalo w/ Mashambanzou Safaris | |||
