Ideas for a stock??
« on: July 11, 2016, 04:23:30 PM »
Well I just bought a Weatherby vangaurd in a 240 WBY, and want to build it into a light weight rifle.

Anybody have suggestions for a light weight stock, Also a good gunsmith to une this up and maybe do some fluting?

Thanks guys!

I put my vanguard in a Blackhawk axiom. Light, adjustable length of pull, and free floats the barrel

My gun is being built right now with a manners stock. Took 10 months to get the stock delivered after placing the order. There are some ready to ship stocks on their web site if you don't need a custom one.

I like my Manners stock, except if you have it painted, don't expect the paint to hold up to much abuse. I waited 7-8 months for mine at the end of 2014.
