Need some help identifying an old Bishop stock

I picked up 4 of these old Bishop stocks at a recent gunshow thinking they would fit a small ring Mauser. (Got them at a good price cause the seller didn't know what they fit either!) Got home and measured the hole spacing and took a better look at the inletting and came to the conclusion that these will not fit my Mod 95. The hole spacing center to center is 7 7/16". Anyone have any idea what these may fit? Thanks for your help.
Here's a picture of the top and bottom of receiver area in one of the stocks.

My best guess - Remington, going by the position of the recoil lug & front action mounting bolt. --- John303.

Don't think so the area where the front action screw is loacated would be round for a Remington.


As usual just my $.02

Not a Rem 700 as the holes don't quite match and like ramrod said, the inletting isn't round for a 700 action. Don't have an older Winchester to try, but I'll see if I can dig up the hole spacing dimension for one.

I believe it could be a 1903 or a3 Springfield stock. The back of the mag well has the little cut out that would accommodate the magazine I believe

It's a semi inlet for pre war M-70...which, of course, can be cleaned up for a post war

Here's what the lot of stocks look like. I wet them down with thinner.

The inlet for the front of the trigger guard is too wide for a Springfield. The inlet should be the same width as the trigger guard inlet.

Ditto. Don't know what you paid but those are nice blanks.

Well, looks like the post has about run it's course. Thanks to all for your information. Since I don't have anything that will fit these, I'll be moving them over to the classifieds as time permits. Thanks again.
