Kind of a long shot but I’m interested to see what’s out there in regards to a nice piece of wood for a pre 64 model 70.
looking for more of a slimmed down stalking rifle/English style stock. 14“ LOP.
shoot me a pm of what you have.
thank you
 
Are you looking for a wood blank or something that has been machined?
 
I have a mate here in Oz that’s also a member on this site, @HRS. Has a ripper lightweight English stalker pattern, good walnut and ships everywhere.

Thought about them but I’ve heard so many horror stories about them.
 
Try this guy. Im talking with him at present. You will need to find someone todo the checkering. But looks like a nice option which I’ll be using in the future.
 
Also if anyone has a line on a finished stock that would be great too
 
No @Ivorygrip I brought the rifle at Holts then chucked the old stock and barrel. New barrel. Jewelled the bolt. Then brought the blank had a stocker do the barrel fit, shape, horn, I did the the checking and finishing.
My next one I’ll get him to also do the checking. As I want rap around. I’m not that good at it.

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
