Prime Beef,
Just curious, if Kennedy worked for Apex and the stock is in the Kennedy style, why do you doubt he made the stock?
The original Apex Rifle Company was around for a long time, but Monty Kennedy only worked for them for a few years when they first started. The Kennedy stock style was a fairly popular one 40-50 years ago, and there were several outfits that sold pre-inletted blanks in that style, so it could be anybody's work.
It's a nice rifle, and the stock is a beautiful piece of wood, but to be perfectly candid, the level of detail (inletting, checkering, etc.) does not appear to be commensurate with the Kennedy stocks I've personally handled, or seen in pictures.
