I am wanting to get a nice looking wood stock for my 300 Win Mag and a guy I know recommended Gatewood Custom Stocks. Has anyone dealt with this company? Are they any good? Thanks | ||

I've only held one of Claudes stocks, but I sure liked it. Hope they can clean the drool of of it LOL. He seems like a straight up kind of guy on the boards he posts on. http://www.claudegatewood.com/ | |||

Kent, I know nothing of Gatewood. Looking at the web site my only impression is that their prices are uncommonly reasonable. I'm certainly no expert in this field, but have half a dozen or so custom rifles and have learned a few things. My suggestion to anyone in your position is to deal with a stockmaker that you can visit several times before you commit yourself, and visit while work is in progress. Also (unless you are willing to accept just anything), *you* should personally pick out the wood. Before anything is started, there should be a 100% understanding between you and the maker as to exactly what you want and how much it will cost. A mail order stock could prove to be perfect, and inexpensive. But there is a chance it could be a disaster, and a total waste of money. Steve | ||

Claude - When is the increase? I'm hankering for a nice, trim Rem. Mtn. Rifle type stock for a Ruger 77. R-WEST | |||
