Question for the stock guys

I'm getting ready to build a 6.5 -06 on an m48 yugo action.My stock choices are kind of limited,but I've settled on a Boyds thumbhole stock.These are inletted for a #1 Barrel Contour,and i'd like to get get a #4 BC. Will i be able to inlet enough to make this stock work well?

Bad Idea! The M-48 is NOT a standard length action, it is an intermediate action and isnt long enough for those long 6.5 bullets in an 06 case. You could possibly make enough alterations to make it work, but you'd be better off either starting with somethng like a VZ-24 or just making it a 6.5x55. A 6.5/284 would be about the right length for a M-48 and is equal to a 6.5/06 but may not feed very well.

Or try a 6.5 x 57 ( or 6.5 x 257 Roberts).

I ended up ordering a couple of barrel channel tools from Boyds and have used them to open up quite a few barrels, even factory barrels to free float my barrels that were not free floated at the factory.

I'd say it would work fine.

Cheers and Good shooting
