Title: Ideas for a stock??
Post by: 257wbymagkiller 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!
