I have a unique (to me) pre war model 70 barreled action. I need a stocktaker that will do a great job for me. Money is not a huge issue ( I know, never say this ), but understand I will be very focused on seeing this done the way I want it done. Looking for an old school type, classic, clean, understated design to work from. Who would you recommend?? | ||

I don't think I would rely on a salesperson at a large store. Marley's list has many of the best U.S. stock makers already listed. I would add Craig Libhart and Al Lind. Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can. | |||

My vote goes to Duane Wiebe. I think he Builds the best looking stocks on the planet. | |||

Just to second a few... James Anderson Lon Paul Duane Wiebe All have done stand out work for me.. Almost forgot Ralf Martini who is also a wizard with wood! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...

Here in the US today we are blessed with many of the very best stock makers in the world. And a high percentage of the best ones doing it for a living have been listed. Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master guide FAA Master pilot NRA Benefactor www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.com | |||

Phil, you are correct. I have used a few and I am very happy. | |||

I had Dean Zollinger lean out a stock on a Wisner actioned 7x57 Swede that had been stocked "fat" by Fred something or other in Montana IIRC. Dean did a great job given he had to start wit someone else's work.  | |||

Very trim and love the forearm taper. Duane Wiebe got me hooked on that swept grip style too.

Dogcat, Promise to post of the photos of the finished stock. I have a suspicion it will be sweet. Jeremy | |||

Boxhead, Dean Zollinger has built me a number of rifles over the past 25 years. Trim, sleek and handle beautifully. He is in the process of finishing a project of mine now. A Mauser action, blind box 7x57. Should be a dandy. Ed | |||
