Mark Brown, www.brownprecision.com spend an inordinate amount of time with me considering I was only a stock prospect, and I was most impressed with his "philosophy" on stock design. (fiberglass rear to help dampen recoil vibration, and carbon fiber forend to prevent ANY flexing and barrel contact). He'd basically take your barreled action (for a while) and "fit" it into one of his LH stocks. All are well regarded by those who have them.

Michael;

Thanks for your note and the kind words about our stocks.

I am not familiar with the rifle you mention, so obviously we do not make a
stock for this model. We certainly do offer completely finished stocks, but
they are not bedded. To obtain the most accuracy out of your rifle, it is
necessary to bed your action in the stock (not just our stock, but any
stock, wood or synthetic) Our Pre-Finished stocks come with a bedding kit,
and complete instructions to bed the action and free float the barrel.

Because there are many different barrel contours around, and every barrel
maker has their own numbering system, our Pre-Finished stock come with the
standard factory barrel contour. Any adjustments to that will need to be
made after the stock is received, and before you do the final bedding.

A stock like the one you mentioned would be our Premium Pre-Finished. The
cost would be $459.00 plus $75.00 for Graphite, and an additional $25.00 for
the Pachmayr Decelerator.

Like I said, we do not make a stock for your particular action, but it is
might be possible that this action is very similar to another that we do
offer.

Michael, I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, or if we can be
of service in any way, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Good Shootin'

Thanks for getting back to me, and the info on the action. Please forgive my
ignorance. Having noted you were from Switzerland, I assumed the action was
some off-shoot of a Mauser type action, maybe something currently being
produced, maybe note. We are very familiar with the Montana Rifle Co.
action. And although we have never used one, have seen a few, and have had a
number of customers install our stocks on them.

So, let me tell you what I know. First, the footprint is indeed close to the
Winchester, with the bolt release being the biggest difference, and yes the
trigger guard is different. Now, can we furnish a stock for this action? Yes
and no. We could supply a stock for a Winchester model 70 action, and have
you do the modifications. The only problem with this is when working with a
finished stock, any modification could possibly damage the finish. Not a
huge issue, but if you are spending the money, you hate to bugger up the
finish. The bolt release and trigger guard would run about the same risk of
damaging the finish.

On this project, I would recommend using one of our Filled and Primed
stocks. The stock would come to you ready for the finish paint to be
applied. We could install the recoil pad as well. The reason I recommend
this stock is that you could modify the bolt release, trigger guard, and
even match the barrel contour, before the finish is applied. This way you
end up with a very clean job, and the stock looks like it was made for the
action, not "modified to fit".

If you wanted to go this way, the price would be $507.00. This is basically
the same stock as the Premium Pre-Finished, but without the exterior finish.

I hope this helps. If you need anything else, or would like to get one of
these stock going, please let me know.

Cliff
