Ok A-bolt Gurus I have a Browning A-bolt Stainless Stalker II 338 and I would like to switch from the synthetic stock to a wood stock to add weight and lesson some of the recoil. My question is; what other browning rifle has a wood stock that will fit this rifle? I want to try to find a used one

A-Bolt Hunter or Medallion both have wood stocks. It may be cheaper and faster to get a semi-inlet and finish it yourself. I don't see any of these used.

You will need to find a stock made for the magnum calibers. Stock for 30/06 size (i.e.) is different.

Midwest Gunworks is the go-to place for factory replacement Browning stocks. Midwest

I have a Browning A-Bolt in .338 with the factory synthetic stock. I installed a Pachmayr Decelerator on mine and it made a world of difference. Next time I'm going to try a Limbsaver pad. I think the Limbsaver does even a better job of reducing the recoil. From my experience, a synthetic stock does a better job of absorbing recoil than wood. I would add weight to the rear of the stock before I would switch to wood or better yet go with a good synthetic stock such as a McMillan.

thanks for the info guys. I've been trying to decide weather to sell the gun sense I dont shoot it or replace the stock and keep it.
