Does anyone make a synthetic stock that suits a LH Ruger Guide gun ? Ideally, a stock that has a shorter forend that better suits the short barrel.

Only two I can think of are the Brown precision and MPI and I don't know about current availability.
Either could be modified easily by anyone familiar with fiberglass repair. MPI had the light weight classic model LH stock and may do the modification in house so you could avoid repainting. When I was looking into it the LH was already a special set up fee but they could fill the RH load port fillet and maybe do the fore end for a single charge.
Not sure if McMillan could do the compact for a LH Ruger but worth a call or Email.

If you send McMillan the gun, they will stock it. Explorered that option a few years back.

8.75" from Mcmillion FE to end of barrel, Ruger factory laminate about 3/8" shorter. ![[Linked Image]](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/kkalaska/2013-05-18_19-59-31_743_zpsf102fb1d.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/kkalaska/dcee725c-c6a5-4dde-8861-362e3208e410_zpsa56a6b4e.jpg)

![[Linked Image]](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/kkalaska/2013-05-18_20-00-27_149_zpsf0b372e1.jpg) Probably could be shortened behind front sling stud and look more balanced. IMHO

Is that a Sako Classic pattern? Looks good anyhow. I have seen some with the Sako Hunter pattern which looks good too.

I dont know what pattern it is bought used fits perfect. Rugers vary so much in actions. Tried another Mcmillion on my Rugers
and fit varied between 5 long actions.
