Kute, I think the best way to describe the Bansnser I got is "stock blank", not "stock". In all fairness, they sell them for stock blank prices. The front action screw hole was .25" off. I called them and they recommended drifting and filling to get it lined up. There was also a *lot* of cutting and filling required to get it to fit my action. Fair amount of sanding to take off all the rough edges and seams too. The forend had a lot of flex until a carbon fiber arrow got inlaid into it. If the stock is going right to a gunsmith who is going to do a lot of custom bedding and rework regardless of what stock they start with, the Bansner makes good sense. If the goal is a stock that is good to go with maybe some minor fitting, I'd look elsewhere. Perhaps it just is what it is with a Mauser (as opposed to Remington or whatever) action.
