Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters recommended stock maker

Hi I have a very nice CZ 550 in 500 Jeffery. I had Wayne at AHR do his CZ#1 Upgrade about a decade ago (3 pos M70 type safety, single stage match trigger, straighten and fill bolt). I have seen so many beautiful safari rifles with ebony forends and grip caps and decided I want those added. Any recommendations? I live in Colorado but can ship the rifle.




Thanks,

Chuck

You should consider Jim Kobe in Bloomington, MN. He is a member of the American Custom Gunmakers Guild and has done beautiful stock work for me and others who post here. He did a stock from a blank for a custom 257 Roberts for me. And he completely “remodeled” the stock of a Whitworth 375 H&H along with a lot of metal work, installing a side swing safety, banded front sight, etc. On the stock he installed a second cross bolt with ebony covers, installed a new recoil pad, replaced the plastic forend tip with ebony, and replaced the plastic covering the existing cross bolt with ebony. Then he did some reshaping, new checkering, and refinished it to perfection.
