Not sure when Bansner stopped inletting for the pre 64's?
Anyway, about a year ago I restocked a friend's pre '64 338WM into a Bansner stock. He provided the stock and said he'd had it for a couple years. The inletting was very nice and didn't need too much massaging before I pillar bedded it and did the center screw upgrade.
The Bansner made a big difference in the shootability of the gun.
Good shootin' -Al
Sorry, but there’s no need for your center screw “upgrade”. Properly glass bed the rifle in any stock and it’s going to shoot a lot more consistently. I’ve pillar bedded pre 64’s myself and freefloated the barrels, add a dummy screw in the stock (if it’s a std wt), where the barrel tension screw is, and you are golden. Trying to tell guys otherwise is a shameless tactic.
