My brother picked up a Remington 30S express that somebody has converted to a 375 H&H. I don't have the rifle in hand yet,but the green painted stock has to go IMHO. Does anybody know where a stock might be had for one of these?

Is the stock fiberglass? If it is a coat.of paint would put the stock color to your liking. It looks like a nice shaped stock. Nice a slender but with lots of mag capacity. . Myself I would say those bases need to be replaced with pic or Weaver bases.
It kinda looks like an MPI stock. Similar to the one I had on my last 416.

check out wenig stocks.... tip burns got a great AAA walnut with a palm swell for my 30s in .505 gibbs.... btw, the 30s is the same as a 1917 enfield.. ive got a couple of boyds' walnut stocks in jrs sporter designs... think I paid around $100 for them several yrs ago...

The sales guy said it is painted wood but you never know till you see it. It is 5 down so there is plenty of capacity there. Buying one of these could be a crap shoot,but for the money I always liked these. I'll check out Wenig,thanks. It would be great if it was a MPI or fiberglass,but I favor walnut. The more I look at this stock.I think it is a custom pattern.

If it is painted wood do you guys think it worth it to have this stock used as a pattern and stock it with walnut?

If you decide to sell the stock, shoot me a PM. I would be interested in it. Thanks.

anybody ever use Charley Santoni? I found this color and it's perfect....any tips on having a rifle painted? Thanks

Did you by chance buy that from Cabelas in Lonetree CO?
