Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Stock options #1

I'm looking for stock options for my #1.

I'm putting a Krieger heavy palma barrel on my #1, and having it chambered in 7mm stw.

So what I'm look for is custom stock options, who makes what ? Has any one ever done a one piece stock on a #1 ?

What stock makers would you recommend ?

The best I know of is John Valicek (Val-A-check)he is in Canyon Lake Texas and is a master with wood. He repaired my double rifle, and has done some other work for me that was fist rate.

His Contact info is

I know he has done some really neat stuff like a one piece BLaser R-93 stock, and has done a couple of number one stocks.

He did a 9.3x74r #1 with a super nice piece of turkish walnut. It would almost make you cry it was so pretty!

Tell John Ed Bredemeyer sent you! One of the best stockmakers I've been around.

Wenig says they have patterns for #1 stocks, both 1A and 1B styles.

I'm having two made up in laminated, but they have a variety of wood choices including maple, I believe.

Their web site is mostly screen shots of their catalog, but they have been very helpful when I called and spoke with them.

Thank you both for the replies, could you please post web links to the perspective web sites.

I found the web-site for Wenig, but the link for John Valicek has nothing to do with wood work ??

The Wenig contact information is on their "home page" - http://www.wenig.com/welcome.html

I found John Valicek listed as a representative of KDF, Inc. for SHOT 2008 -

The description included stocks, so I'm guessing this is the same guy. No email address, just phone numbers.

thank you

John does some contract work for KDF but is not an employee. He is top notch. THat is his e-mail. Just call the number if you want to get ahold of him that is his cell. If you want to see some of his work go to accurate reloading site and look under single shot section and search custom 9.3x74 and see.

Ed

thank you
