natman;
Good afternoon to you sir, hopefully this finds you well.
I've put two rifles together now with Wildcat Composite stocks - the first being a large ring Mauser.
Here's a link to Stuart's website;
http://wildcatcomposites.com/productinfo.htmlStuart's stocks need to be bedded and the ones I bought were unfinished as well. As he's a small company, there are limited models to choose from - but if you can find what you like they are extremely stiff stocks in my experience and certainly so for their light weight.
I found him to be easy to communicate with and didn't wait very long for either one that I ordered to be built and shipped. I'd use another Wildcat Composites stock again on a build in a heartbeat.
Here's a photo of my blank on the scale with the sling swivel bases installed, but no recoil pad or bedding yet.
A photo of the finished rifle on the scale.
Since that photo I've had a different barrel installed and the rifle has gained 2 oz.
Hopefully that was useful information to you sir, good luck on your build whichever way you proceed and all the best to you this summer.
